Losing A Sibling Or Two Or Three Is Enough For Me!
Spend time grieving and time remembering the good times. If you shed a tear, make it for a short time and then move on I say in this rhyme.
Gezhay manido, Kind and Loving Spirit,
Enough of loss
So says the boss
I am the boss of this rhyme
We can continue to grieve another time.
They say celebrating life is what funerals are about now
I say bs to that and it was my grandpa’s favorite swear word anyhow.
He would say oh bs before there was even a game by that name
I had so many laughs with my sisters and brother
I will remember that and try not to bother
With any other sad memories today
Watching Faith keep my mother on a diet was the best
I have lots of memories to keep me going forever and they are better than the rest
Faith had the methods for keeping Mom true to her diet
Watching that was such a riot.
She was 16 and I was 10. Mom must have been 30 or so.
It worked too as Mom never got that weight back, oh no!
Then there was Carrie telling of how she dyed her hair blue
I would have loved it but her hubby did not oh boo
He had her head under the sink until it was her head and her face that was all blue too
Carrie the artist had many stories to tell,
and I loved the mud baths and facials as well
So, let’s hear it for the good times.
And forget about the bad time rhymes.
Tim was having so much fun with his girls.
Taking them on the 4-wheeler for twirls.
Telling me how proud he was of them as
they were receiving awards and other jazz.
He was the best dad.
His death was so sad.
Miigwech, Thank you,
It's you know who!

Awesome work!
I know this was suppose to be serious but could not help but laugh, 😂🤣this poem is hilarious. He but her head in the sink until her head and face was all blue. When the older generation use the bs word , looking back , it sound funny now.
