The Matriarch

My grandmother always told me

If you aren’t learning you are dying

It’s something I’m always applying

So continued growth is a guarantee


My grandmother always told me

That we have to be kind to others

Of all orientations sizes and colors

So of ignorance I would be free


My grandmother told me

That you had to have fun

Without it life hasn’t begun

Which I’ve found to be key


My grandmother told me

That she was the matriarch

We were never a patriarch

And I would have to agree


So many teachings to rely on

Her advice has been fateful

For her wisdom I am grateful

I miss her now that she is gone
