The Great Woman


I was birthed into this world

A hardworking clever woman 

It started with my sweet mamaw

Who’s stubbornness and lovingness

Could overpower all of the 

Spinning sphere’s evil and anger

She taught me to be caring, kind

Create pearly smiles when I could

Thoughtful, responsible, and nice

The freckled face that’s successful

The naturally brown-red hair

Mirror image of my mamaw 

The perfect idea of the great

Woman she taught me to be
