(Dedicated to my Mammaw...written in 2001)

You created life-that created more

For the son you made-created four.

Family torn-by the deranged black sheep

What she had-she didnt want to keep.

A family scorned-but noone knew

All the harm-that she could do.

Years and years-of feeling so lost

She took what she wanted-at any cost.

Little child-grown up to roam

Never finding-that place called "Home".

Until the day-my dream came true

Finding ME-when I finally found YOU.

You wrap the bandage-around my heart

You attach together-what was torn apart.

An angelic face-that brightens my day

When I see your smile-I see the way.

After years of trying-for my heart to mend

My journey Home...has reached it's end.

I found my place-no longer to roam

When I see you,Mammaw-I see...my Home.
