COFFEE NANA

She didn’t have to know you to serve you

Every stranger was made at home

Even a passerby was encouraged to come in

“Have some coffee,” she’d say “build up your strength”

Coffee Nana was very strong

Her strength it seems her kids acquired

I doubt it came from drinking coffee but

To her this beverage symbolized inner strength
