That's a really nice poem... she had a lot of talent.

I enjoy reading my great-aunts poetry. It kind of connects you with your ancestors.
She was the genalogist in the family. She wrote two books; one about her husband and the second about herself. She included lots of genealogical info so that book was a treasure trove. Laressa lived to be about 102; so I did meet her but was not into genealogy at the time. So much more info I could have gotten if only I had thought to ask.
I'm not sure which cousin has the orginal poery books but I copied two of them. I may have one put away in my mother's things.
I enjoy sharing her poems and hope that everyone likes them. If you get tired of them, let me know. LOL
