Words of Life, Love and Praise
Family Quilt
Oh yes, my mothers temperament
great grandmas big green eyes
paternal golden tresses-
full lips…I can't decide.
Add grandmas grace and elegance
the others strong determined seed
so many variations-
what does all this mean?
Just nature's way of reminding us
from where it is we've been,
lest we forget our blood of past
it's forever branded within our genes.
After all, but bits and pieces
of our relations, generations ago-
though each unique to the other,
all coming together to remind us so.
We each being, what I like to call...
a "Family Quilt".
great grandmas big green eyes
paternal golden tresses-
full lips…I can't decide.
Add grandmas grace and elegance
the others strong determined seed
so many variations-
what does all this mean?
Just nature's way of reminding us
from where it is we've been,
lest we forget our blood of past
it's forever branded within our genes.
After all, but bits and pieces
of our relations, generations ago-
though each unique to the other,
all coming together to remind us so.
We each being, what I like to call...
a "Family Quilt".
