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
