Who I am (a mothers days tribute)
by Charri Hensley on Thursday, 5 May 2011 at 20:47 ·
When I look into the past, I see all of them that have gone before me.
Strong beautiful woman that have marked the path,
that carried the torch for even for me.
For the prayer warriors who prayed for me before I was a thought,
to the woman that taught cooking and sewing, how to get a stain out.
how to kiss away tears and turn sorrow into joy.
for knitting lessons and tanned backsides,
for praise and hugs,
and the tender words for a broken heart,
their jobs have been many,
days off very few, the pay has been lousy,
yet this one thing is ever true,
hearts of gold, faith that has moved many mountains,
hope that is timeless and love that never fails,
I have come from a flowing brook, wisdom and love prevail.
from Boone, Pate, Brewer, Hensley and Hale.
your gifts to me are so many, your spirits pure and true,
my courage and hope, faith and love I owe to all of you.
for my Grandmothers,
Laura Mae Hensley and Reable O, Boone
