Dedications to You

Not quite a lifetime, but forever since weʻve seen

Memories of your regal breath decorate my dreams

Retaining your knowledge, protected and true

I dedicate this little poem to you.

You taught me well, you taught me life

Organic recipe, determined stripe

Not one for talk, but the action type

You said donʻt try, my girl, just do

I dedicate my efforts all to you.

Brushing disaster, you always held strong

Skills you taught, held me this long

I dedicate my education all to you

I dedicate my laughter, I dedicate my pain

I dedicate every night that I ever slept out in the rain

I dedicate joys and conquests too

But main thing is that I dedicate my achievement to you.

Morals you held, head proudly high

As virgin mother earth kisses the sky

In the stars, in the heavens, this promise held true

I dedicate my lifeʻs work, all unto you.

I dedicate my victories,  celebrate communal gain

No more homeless people to sleep in the rain

No more sweet earth to kiss the sky

Only grandmaʻs lullabies.

If sweet little songs make smiles

No matter the occasion, one thing is true.

I dedicate this scribe with love

From me to you

To my Nana with Everlasting Love
