Life in motion

Life in motion

A Poem by SmittyJas
"

times are tough lives in motion When Grandma came across the ocean

"
She came across the ocean
To start a whole new life
With eyes to see new generations
But she only gave birth two daughters and a son

She did not live long enough to see her second daughter get married
She lived to the age of 42 when Mother was just 21
Live was hard on the farm they all lived on
With in a few year of raising her kids on her own

She left the farm and lived out her life alone
But she did give blessing to the next generation
When the families of the two Girl started to spread

Seven little ones they each had
Ages rivaled the same
In the land of the Free and the home of the brave
We were given our chance to grow and we Did

I have many relative all around the states
Love and miss them when the can't make it
to the family reunion or christmas celebrations
But we all kick in and send our love

From our savior and Lord from up above
times are tight lives in motion
WHen Grandma cross the ocean
To our good homes in the US of A
