A Mother who was taught to have understanding and wit
When Mrs. Stanley set out on her own journey, it was the same understanding passed down to her own children
Her words to family and friends, please don’t mourn over me as I am in Heaven’s comfort, a place I want to be
I lived my life under the watchful eyes of the Heaven’s
My legacy being how I lived my life and encouraged others
It was my years under God’s advice
It was able to inspire words that had just the right spice
My life moved with every beat of the drums
It was the fruit of the land being fresh plums
Nature’s own being God’s encouragement
I have seen changes in the world over the years
I reached my fulfillment
One must while one can
It was my life starting from when
Later the closure being the end
Yet this is my final curtain
It is just my legacy being certain
Cry not but look up
You have encouragement from drinking my daily cup
Live on
But I want you all to be strong
Living means survive
This is my life with a big STRIVE
But God’s mercy is how I was able to preserver
I was a moving vessel in marching to God’s beat
Devil tried to attack, but I was able to defeat
My tomorrow was yesterday
My smile described my life which I enjoyed
But now my chariot a waits
I cannot be late
My voice to all of you, “I will be in Heaven awaiting your arrival”
Life may seem short
But it is nothing that you should abort
Live on my children, family and friends
My Love has never stopped
I maybe in Heaven, but my affection still stands in being at the top
I leave you, but it’s not good-bye
I want you all to fulfill your life with every try
Don’t cry
From time to time I will pass by.
