You know all the evil things I did
I gave birth to five kids
Not one of them loved me
Not one of them questioned me
Sure, I bullied them
Sure, I abused them
They all caved into me
None of them stood up to me
None of them loved me enough to demand I do right
Then I turned to God
Because my grandchild stood up to me
My granddaughter demanded better of me
My granddaughter really loved me
And then the Gulf of Mexico swallowed me
Then I was with my son who loved my granddaughter
Because he loved her
He became a true son to me
For all these years he has been with me
Then my other son joined me
My Mother joined me
Then over 30 great-grandchildren joined me
From one granddaughter if you can believe
So many souls all around me
Keeping me where I need to be
Protecting me, helping me
Loving me on this side
The very thing I needed
When I was alive
My granddaughter planted a grove of trees for me
Her son is here with me
My great-grandson is here with me
She still loves me
It’s hard to believe
She has taught me
How to love too finally.
I love you forever and I bless you,
Madea
