We Will Always 💕 You Poochie...
You've been by my side since birth
We've had our ups and downs for all it's worth
I saw you bring 4 children into being
You were there to witness all of mine
In the interim we did a lot of praying
Baby Bye, I know that you are up in Heaven wholeheartedly agreeing!
You baby sat me and watched me grow into
a very spirited adult,
You held my hand and comforted me
Even when we both knew things were my fault.
You watched out for me on countless occasions,
Though we were a decade apart
You were more like a big sister in every situation.
Back in the day when you came to visit in Da Greens you braided my hair into cornrows and when I wore Jheri Curls you gave me glittery colorful hair combs.
You were my link to fashion and trends,
You always let me tag along with you and your boyfriends.
We always marveled over us being two August Leo's.
You told everyone in earshot of how you wanted to live to be one hundred years old,
You were one of a kind
When God created you He obliterated the mold!
Such a Fighter, Protector and a Victor true to our astrological lioness birth sign,
Yet sweet and nurturing as the day is long traits that are very hard to find.
When the two of us got together
Vibing to music was our proverbial elixir
I can't recall too many occasions when this didn't occur.
You fascinated me with your account of dancing on Soul Train when it was filmed in The Chi,
And attending the world renowned Cooley High.
Poochie, you've weathered many storms
And you know that I've seen first hand,
How you loved on your children and grands.
When folk were working my last nerve you were the first to say to me Haters Make it Greater for you later.
When I sulked for too long,
You always told me to put my big girl undies on.
In this life we were inextricably linked and though we've parted for a minute we're still on the same algorithm,
Cuz your motto was it is what it is, let it go, keep on living and forgive them.
You kept clippings of my early poems and self published books.
You gave folk the gas face whenever they gave me dirty looks.
For so many years your heart and shoulders were my refuge,
When I felt life was treating me unfairly and life's challenges seemed too huge.
A few years back when I lost my way and began to doubt God and falter,
You looked me directly in the eyes and said, 'Doe, Doe, there is a God, do no stop approaching the altar.'
Big Cuz, I would never have fathomed sitting here writing these words on any given day,
But I will end this with: We love you more than words can say.
Doreen (Doe Doe)
