I Remember Grandma

I Remember Grandma By The Sun Rises East I remember grandma. She had that soul of fire. Her name was Ada Lee Maxie. She was tall, cunning, a mix of black and Indian (and due to the eight strokes she had had by the age of thirty-six, she had to drag her left leg along when she'd walk). She had long black hair that was silk and shiny, and beautiful light brown skin, and she had been tough as an old whip. (And whenever she'd whipped me, she had whip me good.)
