My father
I think my father treasured me Though boys were valued more. Though I grew up I never had More burdens than before. It’s true I took in morning tea And mastered how to knit A lady I was born to be A lady - that was it. At last I satisfied my Dad Although he had to wait I did it as he would have done The choosing of a mate. There are more lines that do apply The way I think to-day. I think the highlight of his life Was giving me away.

New Years' Eve
Perhaps our New Years’ could be dull But this year it was not. We had a party brought to us By Tom & Joan & Scot. They brought a special cold dessert Divisible by five We sat around in candle light So glad to be alive. The center piece had big balloons With hats and streamers too The old year went out with a bang And ushered in the new.

A thank you to brother Raymond
Do you recall when we were young I played with words and rhymes? I never had enough to do So did it many times. This Christmas I received a book To write in as before And when I looked for something else I found I had three more. However we have just one board As lavish as you sent I like to stroke it with my hand Perhaps not what you meant. But since then we have made a move I trust not a mistake To our delight it was just right To hold our Christmas cake
