Poem
To my dear daughter... I loved you, in your sweet Mary Janes. In all our travels that were fine and plane. You cannot remember how I pulled your hair. Those braids,so tangled yet shiny and brunette fair. You won’t have the pride, I did. Watching you from the audience at Fairmont, you on stage, You were just a kid! Nor, how I hurt inside, when children called you terrible names. Those brats with no hearts and no shame! The fear I felt, when your face was split. I stood outside the hospital, crying salty tears, that stung and bit. And oh, the Christmases, when I could not provide you the best! You went without plenty, and yet you turned out to be a far more than cut above all the rest! You told me once, when I was hopeless and crying. That God was always with us, to keep on trusting Him and smiling. Each summer, without you, I was so lost. You flew to Chicago to be with your grandparents, Life without you, seemed hardly worth the cost! My pride in you, like a colored sunset that never ends. Or perhaps a gorgeous rainbow and it’s colorful, shiny trends! You grew to be one glorious soul! Your contributions to this society simply grow and glows! As a wife, you are unsurpassed! Thank you for my grandson, Edward, I shall call him, “outstanding”and like his Mom, cannot be outclassed. My life, I see, comes to its close. Thus, I leave you my poetry, I hope some with bless you, like the dew on a summer rose. That is my everlasting gift to you. Just simple words and phrases, that when I am gone, sing to you forever! That, my daughter, I will love you, is my lifelong treasure! Love, Mommy 1-26-2022
