By Tywan Joe
A woman of courage with
modesty and humility for all to see.
Admired for your endless capabilities
Forcing reality out of small possibilities
keeping a strong arm over every responsibility
so diligently equipped with the
Hidden Ability of Super strength
no matter how heavy things appeared to be
you made them seem light
Breast cancer survivors 15 years is a tough fight.
Honored to be given a teacher
who can lead by example
teaching the way of life not just to show it
but to make sure we know it.
A seed grows and it begins to sprout.
The roots of our trees are our grandmothers
that are giving to us
to keep the family tree strong
and nourished and together.
But she can not last forever
so she follows through
to find the one she can pass down the treasure.
that treasure is love
and it’s going to need someone strong
someone as loving
someone as giving as grandma
to carry on what is meant to be.
representing love strength and power
in every moment and every hour
Love for yourself
then reciprocated, is to conquer and devour.
Author Tywan Joe with his grandmothers, who both had cancer.
