T
he first verse is a mother saying
to her daughter “I love you my
sweetheart and I’m always going
to try and lead you on the right path,
but I know you won’t always choose
that path.” The second verse is a
daughter saying to her mother “I know
you will always try and lead me on the
right path, but I want to choose my
OWN path, and ill be waiting for
you crying at the gates.” (Meaning the gates of heaven) The
third verse is my grandmothers
name, birth date, and death
date followed by “I love you
grandma, always remembered,
never forgotten”. The red spool
of thread symbolizes the tightly
sewn connection between my
grandmother, my mother, and I,
as well as my grandmother was
a seamstress. I got this tattoo
done on october 19 2012, exactly two years after my grandmother passed away. She was
the most influential woman in my
life and I pray I can grow up to be
half the woman she was.”
