THE WELLSPRING

THE WELLSPRING

A Poem by Eddie Phillips




Bountiful in her beauty she was the beginning of what would be
From her sprang our family. She is the root of our family tree
Every auntie and uncle, every cousin and sibling I know
We all come from the Wellspring. It's her love that helps us grow
She is one of a kind; a real rarity; something hard to define
No matter how far we travel; she keeps us all on her mind
She is never afraid to pray and plead our case before the throne
The Wellspring provides the faith that keeps our family strong
She was blessed with a sweet love. It is the kind that you truly feel
The Wellspring washes away the pain and always helps you heal
I thank God for allowing me to flow through her into this life
She is a source of joy and love that gives me the will to fight
I have a God-fearing Grandmother that always takes my case to God above
A Wellspring that flows with happiness and continually fills our family with love

Grandparents hold such a very special place in the family. Sadly, I no longer have mine, at least not as physical presence; but they are with me still, and always will be held in precious memory.

A beautiful poem and clearly written for a beautiful person.

God bless. Beccy.

This is just wonderful. How tender and respectful you honor your grandmother, who in this precious picture, is seen to be lovely, indeed. May you have her with you for forever and a day.

What a beautiful homage to a wonderful grand mother Eddie. The 'Wellspring' is such a wonderfully honorable title. A fine tribute indeed from a fine grandson. You must make her so proud my friend.
Kudos
God Bless
