“Ready for the Word: Oh, Sheila!”
If you walked awhile in the way
Of her style and grace,
You’d be spotted from a mile away before you had a shoe in the door!
More elegantly en vogue
And relevant to behold…
She’s an elder with the most – Ms. Sheila’s a shoo-in to be adored!
Momma Sheila’s most dominant features
Are most prominent to seers –
Her confidence is in a league of its own like Geena Davis.
It’s not self-confidence, though.
It’s the knowledge that God is in control…
The type of common sense she’s known since she was a baby.
That’s why prompting believers
For kind words about Momma Sheila
Leaves us neither daunted nor beleaguered – it comes with the realest of ease.
Like the fresh greens she’s bound to search and promote to folks,
She’s both down-to-earth and homegrown, you know?!!…
She’s wholesome to the soul – like chicken soup for the illest disease!
She’s cut from the cloth that model realists breed.
As a novel idealist, she reads.
She stands tallest like Shiela E. when she walks to the beat of her own drum!
Yet she’s not one to get ensnared and caught in prideful traps –
‘Cause she only walks where God’s taught her in-sightful chats…
That’s why her careful and soft talk mindfully tracks the feats of Jehovah’s Son!
From Mississippi to Dixon
This misses’ litany has written
Symphonies of epiphanies extensive enough to guide her siblings AND children!
Like Robert’s Rules of Order,
Momma ruled her daughters
Without tolerance for drama or room for disorder entering the building!
Retired from respiratory therapy,
she can finally BREATHE EASY!
Yet and still, she finds rest a glory and heresy –
she’s moves with the Spirit like Speak Easies!
She’s on the go and leaves easily at the drop of a hat!
Though Kansas City’s where she travels Chiefly,
Atlantic City could be a place she dabbles briefly…
She’s bound to pound the gravel equally at any plot on the map!
For Momma Sheila, life is NOT like a box of chocolates!
She’s got a lot of healthy, top notch options –
Well… until cake is adopted, then all bets are off to a certain noble extent.
So, whether it’s a church event,
Her birth or any other’s worthiness…
She’s Ready for the World less the jheri curls and Hersheyness –
well… you know what I meant!
