A grandmother's poems. A family's history. A lifetime of love and loss.
You know the feeling. A loved one passes, a memory fades, and you wish you had written it all down. You search for the words to capture what family means, what grief costs, what faith sustains, and what love, even after twenty long years, still stirs inside you. You look for your story in the voices of celebrated poets but never quite find it. Because the truest poems about real life come from the people who actually lived it.
A Few More Tears to Shed is the first published collection from Ruby Jewel Jackson, an everyday woman whose extraordinary heart poured itself onto notebook pages and scattered sheets for decades. Spanning from the 1960s through the early 2010s, her poetry and short stories chronicle a life rich with devotion, heartbreak, humor, and resilience. From tender elegies for lost sons to playful tales of a cat named Bertha, from prayers of gratitude to honest reflections on loneliness and love, Ruby's words carry the warmth and weight of a woman who processed the full spectrum of life through her pen. Lovingly compiled by her grandson Lorenzo Dawkins, this collection opens a window into one family's legacy and speaks to the universal experiences that bind us all.
Inside these pages, you will find:
- Deeply personal poetry on grief, faith, love, and family that resonates across generations
- Charming short stories and family lore that bring decades of memories to vivid life
- The authentic, unfiltered voice of a woman who wrote not for fame but because her heart demanded it
