Sad words
Sad eyes
Sad, sad life
Why
Is there no anger
In your soft, smiling voice
Does your face glow
With a beauty as breathtaking
As that of the tree, vibrant with
That frothy purple
Magnificent blossom
Blooming alone
Among the dry, ungrateful
stones?

Exquisite and compassionate portrait, Anita. The Zulu word for Grannie is Gogo. I don't know what it is in other languages indigenous to Africa.
