She Inherited Grandma’s Quiver
Exploring my talent, putting it into use in the literary world for the benefit of humanity and promotion of communication
1. Her quiver is full
Full of arrows that
Many desire to have
She values her quiver
2. She protects her quiver
Wouldn’t allow anyone to
Go near the place
Where she keeps it
3. What is not protected
Would be abused, misused
And if care is
Not taken be stolen
4. The quiver she inherited
From her grand mother
Who by her deeds
Talks kept the family
5. Misunderstanding reared its
Ugly head on many
Occasions within the family
To cause total separation
6. When the ugly head
Be risen the grand
Mother in her wisdom
Pull out an arrow
7. From the many inside
The quiver and by
That severed the ugly
Head of the monster
8. Not once or thrice
Had she done this
Which makes granddaughter
To get close to her
9. More than all grand
Children she had she
Was the one that
Was very close to her
10. She was paying close
Attention to everything she
Was doing, and the
Contents of the quiver
11. She knows that the
Quiver was full of
Arrows, thence the use
And how to she notices
12. Learning from her the
Nitty-gritty of those arrows
How, and when to
Use each of them
13. From her she knows
That words spoken in
Its season is good
For all and sundry
14. From her she knows
That people may mistake
Thine patience for timidity
And even ignore thee
15. “Never mind, for the
One who laughs last
Is the one who
Has overcome” grandma said
16. Having been on her
Own and has been
In custody of this
Quiver she’s seen a lot
17. She has saved many
Through arrows in her
Quiver and has established
Herself through the usage.
18. Now she is become
The cynosure of all
Eyes, the looked-for
One at many occasions.
