Dear Grandma

They couldn’t call me Regina ‘cause I’m a male, so they flipped the script

From the moment I was born, the name and spirit were linked

A little Reginella carrying your light

A mirror of your spirit, shinning through the night

Helping mothers breathe through the pain till the morning light

We had special language, a bond that’s never gone

Still answered all call like it was where you belonged

Now my heart feels like December whenever the speak your name

But I smile through the missing ‘cause your light still remains

(soulful/spiritual Barry Jhay-inspired Afrobeats )

Dear Grandma, here’s to the love that you gave

Cheers to all the years and the lives you saved

To the legacy of Regina, and the path you paved

I’ll carry your spark wherever I may go

Dear Grandma, I just wanted you to know

Yeah, I’ll carry your spark Wherever I may go

Dear Grandma, I just wanted you to know…

All the stories and laughter still hanging in the air

Toast to the families you held through the years

Toast to the strength that still dried all our tears

The world keeps turning, but it feels a bit slow

Since the day the angels said it’s time to go

So keep your eyes on the road, I’m walking down

Watch over me till it’s my time to wear the crown

Everything I do is a reflection of you

The house feels emptier, but your spirits fills the rooms

We keep your flame burning bright in everything we do

Manyi, Gina-Peace, we all miss you

Rest Easy, Grandma…

From your Reginella

We miss you, Regina
