AWARDED: SECOND PLACE

A kind gentle soul Now a hundred years old Who for years put her Dreams all on hold Giving her all As a Mother, and Wife Oh! What a beautiful life A Daughter like Father Living life as he taught her Her touch making Everything bright Counting her blessings Regardless of hardships Thanking the Lord for her life A lady of beauty A lady of grace Giving to everyone Gardens of tulips and poetry And pounds of fudge to go round A Daughter like Father Living life as he taught her This lady of beauty and grace Her life like a poem on a tapestry Oh! how proud Her Father would be And I...I rejoice For the century of wisdom This lady has given to me. Happy Birthday, dear Joyce Author: Elaine Cecelia George
