Poem
January eighth came round and Tabitha was born, Another January, just one year more, and Mandi came along. Just one year nineteen days was all, there was between these girls, But that seemed oh so long ago, and past’ like melting snow. Their lives were soon to be askew; their Mom was much too young, They came to live with Grandma, where she made a home for them. She asked for help, to nurture them, when she went off to work, So Judith said, “Just bring them here, we’re happy just to help.” “We loved them,” Mike and Judith said, “they just lit up our house.” We had some fun on every day they spent their time with us. We picnicked in the big back yard, and went for walks each day, But if the weather turned out bad, we’d just stay home and play. They got much older, much too fast, and off to school they’d go, Our home became a quiet place because we missed them so. But that was very long ago and time has slipped away, Just as that darling wife of mine, who passed that April day. Now Judith’s’ in a better place, as are, our two girls too, For Tabitha and Mandi, have found a life of good. They found that love and caring, is a gift that can be owned, When Providence stepped in and said, “The Neumires are your home.” The two girls, Tab and Mandi, who were cast aside one day, By a mother that was much too young...a child herself, in many ways. Now on this day, of nine July, the lights of Heaven shine, All they needed was a little love, not empty hearts to pine. But the great reward that they have now, is a family life of bliss, ‘Cause in their new home they have reaped, another lonely miss. An only child, Rebekah May, who missed a sisters’ guide, Can thank her Lord for giving her, one sister, for each side. It’s funny how the world revolves and picks out spots to peer, To wander into spaces, that we never knew were there. To listen to our children’s thoughts, their hopes, desires and dreams, And bring those thoughts in symphony, to these young girls, these three. Now these three will be sisters, and their wish’s all come true. Tabitha and Mandi, and big sister Rebekah too. This story does not end today with three girls filled with glee, It’s the “Never-ending” tale you read, that comes to life…and stays.
