My mom and her twin sister are retiring this year. They are going to have a program for the both of them. PLUS! It's going to be their birthday too! Surpise!! The sisters are grandmothers and great- grandmothers of whom are retiring from their jobs this year. Please help me to present a special poem for the both of them. Thanks. These are beautiful black women of whom was raised in Greensboro,N.C. (Josephine & Catherine), born in the month of October.
