Her voice is remembered like a gospel song
Or a book of proverbs and psalms
Wise words to be a balm against hard times and hearts hardened
Teaching how to love neighbors and give pardons to others that have been condemned
To light fires to lights once dimmed by dark days
To rejoice with gratitude even if the current situation seems bleak
To master mercy for the outkast and the weak
To in all things love and wisdom seek
And to always get a full understanding
Her voice was quite demanding that we acted as our brothers keeper
Keepers of faith so that fear would hold no space in our hearts
Because doubt is the devil and the devil is a lie
And she demanded that we live in truth
Her truth was feeding the hungry and housing the youth
As a child she taught me to treat everyone as an angel even if they behaved like demons
That anyone can be converted to love once you put the seed in
I am her blood, so her philosophy bleeds out of all of my pores
So I continue her example of being a champion for the oppressed and poor
Continuing the fight as a soldier of God in this eternal holy war.
