My darling Miss America
before I bid you adieu 
I wanted you to know my dear
how proud I am of you 

In my heart I always knew 
that you would find your way
still you had me pretty nervous 
right to the final day 

Sometimes you think it trivial 
the things you choose to do 
but in this path you chose to take
the world has hope anew

To know you found your dignity 
more valuable than pride
that you overcame your darkest fears 
to declare what you’ll not abide

Your soul is sure to keep its glow 
as you were always dest 
Of liberty and freedom 
may your heart stay ever blessed

See you soon 
All my love and hope,
Father Time

~Jeannie Cronin
