Before Anything else, Joyce was a mother and Grandmother. This poem so aptly displays her love for her girls that to not add it would've been a crime.

Deep Inside

This world now holds a saddened sigh
As war explodes a pale blue sky,
And is it right that I know glee
As the mother who lives deep in me?

With every bootie that I stitched,
I felt a hand or foot that twitched.
And, smiles upon my face grew wide
To know that life moved deep inside.

Oh how I waited...each of you
I dreamt and yearned for your debut.
I Whispered soft...the comfort song
That echoed as your hearts grew strong.

Soon you came with bellowed cries.
I saw myself within your eyes.
And, as the years passed one by one,
Each golden daughter...faced the sun.

So...remember now my jubilee,
That reads as if a sworn decree...
"Without you three I could not be,
The Mother who lives deep in me!
