Ivy's Eyes
She is a woman of God's strength
whose firm hands now fragile and worn.
Wrinkles concealing a treasure of memories
of Guyana.
Good old days as a child, growing up with
nothing but dreams and hopes.
Vanishing dreams of a child,
now a wife at the tender age of sixteen.
Ivy's eyes will tell you a story.
Waking at dawn not to admire the sunrise
breaking through the horizon
but to walk to the market.
The responsibilities of a wife; to cook and
clean.
Guyana.
Good old days as a wife, learning how to
care for her husband.
Now a mother to nurture a child.
Ivy's eyes will show you how to love.
She is a woman of strong faith
you will see from the scars on her body, her
trust in God's healing hands.
Guyana.
Good old days as a mother, giving love to
her children.
Now a woman who suffers from illnesses.
Ivy's eyes will show you courage.
She is a woman with a heart that loves
unconditionally.
Each day praising the Lord, thanking Him
for His blessings.
Guyana.
Good old days as a grandmother, sharing
stories with her grandchildren
and taking care of them with love and kindness.
Now a woman of memories.
Ivy's eyes will tell you a story.
