There are so many graves of young mothers and babies and older children, too in our family cemetery.
My family first came to the Nacogdoches area then moved to central Texas where there was no town.

It absolutely breaks your heart. Much as I love stories of the old days, I am so grateful to live in a time of good medicine.

You love poetry. Try this very early database I put together of the rhymes in the bodies of poetry of Moore and Henry, color coded for gut fast understanding.

Database of All Alphabetized Rhymes

Click on any rhyme and it takes you to the original poem. One of the "soft" reasons to have chosen Henry over Moore as the author is that NBC contains "near rhymes" (shown in italics in the database) which are not quite on. As you can see from the database and the poems I've posted, Henry is quick and more emotional in his choice of a word or rhyme. Moore was cold, intellectual and methodical. He uses real rhymes and doesn't get anything meter wise wrong. Just boring, nasty and moralistic. Henry shows what real morals are about - love and joy.
