Josephine
Mbato...
My
guiding
light.
Oh,
grandma.
When
I
was
just
a
little
baby
You
held
me
safely
in
your
arms
You
protected
me
from
every
danger
You
kept
me
safe
from
every
harm
When
I
cried,
you
understood
me
When
I
hurt,
you
stayed
beside
me
You
became
my
shelter
and
my
home
The
one
who
never
let
me
walk
alone
If
I
had
a
thousand
lives
to
live
I
would
choose
you
again
and
again
Josephine,
you
gave
me
all
you
had
In
every
lifetime,
you
are
my
friend
Thank
you
for
the
love,
the
sacrifice
Before
I
knew
the
world,
you
were
my
guide
You
gave
me
food,
you
gave
me
life
You
washed
away
the
tears
and
strife
You
never
asked
for
anything
in
return
For
you,
my
gratitude
will
always
burn
Even
when
I
was
stubborn
and
young
You
spoke
the
words
that
kept
me
strong
Now
I
stand
here,
holding
your
hand
Best
grandmother
in
all
the
land
I
see
the
history
inside
your
eyes
A
gentle
soul
beneath
the
skies
Time
keeps
moving,
but
I
hold
this
space
To
tell
you
I
love
you,
for
all
your
grace
If
I
had
a
thousand
lives
to
live
I
would
choose
you
again
and
again
Josephine,
you
gave
me
all
you
had
In
every
lifetime,
you
are
my
friend
Thank
you
for
the
love,
the
sacrifice
Before
I
knew
the
world,
you
were
my
guide
I
love
you,
Grandma.
Josephine
Mbato,
thank
you.
My
queen,
my
heart. (
