[written for and dedicated to my oldest, Emily Elizabeth Hankins, and published in my first poetry chapbook, "The Lady in the Pink Hat," Candor Press, 1969.]
Her star shines bright Above the rest She is my child She is my best, of All that I could give Her blood and being She has shared With a world fleeing Mediocrity.
