Balanced and perfect!
Always standing up for me.
Teaching me manners. Oh, how I fussed!!
Having French braids every summer.
My shorts and tops had to match.
Teaching me to be proud to be and say, I was American
Reading poetry to me, when I was so verynyoung.
And teaching me words to songs.
You took me to top restaurants, not left at home.
You made sure I was in the best schools.
All the time we spent at the ballet dressmaker!
My eighth grade graduation at the Edgewater Beach Hotel.
Huge windows that faced Lake Michigan,so very tall.
Thank you for a suburban,,beautiful home.
You were a Mom, I was so proud of.
Loving to all, friendly, full of laughter!
At every event, you, most stunning woman in the crowd.
What a gift to me and to my daughter!
A source of pride and love, like no other!
We all love and miss you, Mom
~~~Your birthday, May 12th~~~

Angel moved to and fro in Chicago, Illinois
Edgewater Hospital door opened
Dorothy Emma Howell Rodham was received
Travailed for a contributor to American she bore
Suddenly Hilary Diane Rodham Clinton
First page began, October 26, 1947
As a child in Park Ridge, Illinois
Her ability couldn’t be ignored
She displayed perfection in church and school
Received awards amongst her peers
She knew the sky would embrace her someday
She prepared her pages to Wellesley College
Her seed of greatness began to germinate
All eyes knew she was heading for the top
Diligence elected her president, Wellesley College
She was ready for her pages to be published to the world
She is a woman of notable character
Her virtue who can find
She worked hard with a vision
She is a woman sent to this generation
Committed to her responsibilities for her country
She is a woman the whole world
Is watching with big hands of applause
My First Date
Adrienne
Strong, intelligent, witty and fun
Sister of Tina and Sandy
Lover of chocolate, writing and singing
Who feels excitement, joy and prosperous
Who fears spiders, loss and heights?
Who would like to see my books published, Boston Mass and New York
Resident of Edgewater, Alabama
