To Laura Ingalls Wilder

To Laura Ingalls Wilder Your stories were simple Heart-warming and merry You told us of events that occurred on the prairie Your Pa was the strong one Your sisters were kind Although one was fated To become fully blind Your Ma was an icon for everything pure And there wasn’t anything her love couldn’t cure You told us of hardships And downfalls and pain But no one in your household Would ever complain The blizzards and fires The destruction of wheat The Indians, locals and other you’d meet And look at the legacy that you left us with Your books, they inspired us The stores, we’ll miss So thanks for contributing good to the world Your treasures forever will surely be told
