Above, always I hear your call, and cry out
"Without Mama Dee, whom there would be no me!"
Our journey began with you and me
At twelve, you gave me air to breath
Asleep side by side, in storefronts parking lots,
in our very car, resting our feet
Our journey began with you and me
Fully grown with community, collective voices, and cultures
Every "I" voice silencing every vulture
Smiling, proud, holding you as seen on our wall for all
Ashes alongside each ancestor above, pleased of your praises
Hold the line, share the wealth/health of communities below,
and have faith,
Homefullness heading your way!
Our journey began with you and me............from Mama Dee
"Lisa, I left............. but never departed from you.
Luminous light, spiritual sunset, sky no longer gray
You were always my day, still are my day. That's all I want to say"
"Mama Dee's spirit is an ethereal light to all dark tunnels around us, and within ourselves. It empowers our efforts to eliminate the inequities in our communities, locally and globally."
