MAMA TEBY A GRANDMOTHER, A MATRIARCH
CALLOUSES

CALLOUSES ON HER HANDS
JUST AS MANY ON HER KNEES
FROM ALL THE LONELY, SLEEPLESS NIGHTS
SHE'S KNELT TO PRAY FOR ME
THE LOVE THAT HAS ALWAYS SHOWN THROUGH
FAITH THAT WAS EVEN BIGGER YET
WAS THE VERY THING ALONG THE WAY
THAT LIT MY WAY TO "YOU"
SHE WAS THE VEHICLE THAT YOU USED
TO BRING A LOST GIRL HOME AGAIN
FROMT HE WORLD I WAS DROWNING IN
INTO YOUR LOVING ARMS
THE MANY TIMES I HEARD HER READ
OR A BIBLE STORY TELL
THE THINGS OF YOU SHE FREELY SHARED.
IN FAITH THAT COULD NOT FAIL
