Analysis of Ruth Ann
Shinerra Ward 1975 (Tennessee)
Sensitivity
made you strong.
Preservation
U carried in your heart.
Duties that were not your's
Became obligated fulfillment.
Taking set backs
moved you Forward.
U took all those lemons
and made homemade lemonade tea.
Wisdom
kept u silent.
Intelligence
kept you Smiling.
Your Beliefs
showed remarkable peace.
Gave without nothing given back in return.
Sacrifice
is what cold heart people around you
never did.
They Sacrificed
Your Love
Your Time
Your Life
Your Riches
and Your Spirit.
Without saying why-
Peace be with You
Grandmother
