The Iron Lady


Famed as the lady with lashing tongue
Revered for her whip that surely stung
Undeterred, her rules must be obeyed
Chastised with a stick so my ways be made
Tongue that tell lies is vicious she said
Over this sin pepper cream you'll get
Unruly trait she won't permit
So on she did her pruning early
A sturdy tree was her plan for me

Love was snipped at an early age
Life spent in isolation and rage
Abandoned, a cast-away they say
No one cared if I cried night and day
Envious of the birds that flew freely
Someday life would be fair, you'll see

Nurtured strangely in my Grandma's way
A lady with her stick to chase me
Disdain dissolved as I got older
Each whip was meant to make me better
Love left unspoken now clear to me
Amidst storms your tree remained sturdy.



FRUCTOUSA LLANES NADELA
Grandmother
