Here is a poem I wrote to remember Virginia when she moved from "the hill." We will miss her.
GOODBY FOR NOW TO VIRGINIA
THIS POEM HAS BEEN WRITTEN FROM US KIDS TO YOU,
LOVE YOU VIRGINIA, WE REALLY DO.
WHEN WE WERE JUST LITTLE, OUR MOMMIES HAD FEARS,
TO LEAVE US AT YOUR HOUSE, MIGHT CAUSE US GREAT TEARS.
BUT YOU HELPED US WIPE THOSE TEARS FROM OUR EYE,
THE FIRST TIME WE HAD TO TELL MOMMIE GOOD BYE.
WE ALWAYS LIKED TO COME TO YOUR HOME,
YOU WATCHED US REAL CLOSE SO WE COULDN'T ROAM.
"TAKE US TO VIRGINIAS, MOMMY" WE'D BEG,
WE WANTED TO GO BAD, WE WEREN'T PULLING HER LEG.
WE SURE LIKE TO PLAY WITH YOUR DOG "LITTLE BIT,"
BUT IF WE GOT ROUGH, ON YOUR LAP SHE WOULD SIT.
YOU ALWAYS WERE THERE TO LOOK AFTER US,
WHILE PLAYING OUTSIDE OR CATCHING THE BUS.
MANY TIMES WE WERE TEMPTED TO PLAY IN YOUR GARDEN,
BUT THEN HAD TO ASK FOR AN IMMEDIATE PARDON.
YOU HAD SUCH A WAY OF MAKING US BIG,
WITH ALL THOSE POTATOES THAT YOU'D LET US DIG.
YOU RAISED ENOUGH SPUDS FOR YOURSELF AND MY DAD,
NOW HE'LL HAVE TO GROW THEM AND THAT MAKES HIM SAD.
YOU TREATED ALBERT AS A WONDERFUL HUSBAND,
YOU SET AN EXAMPLE FOR ALL THE KIDS IN OUR LAND.
YOU TAUGHT US THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN RIGHT AND WRONG,
HOW OUR GOOD BEHAVIOR COULD HELP US GET ALONG.
WE KNOW YOU WERE FAITHFUL FOR US TO KEEP PRAYING
WHETHER IN THE CRIB OR OUTSIDE IN THE YARD PLAYING
THERE WERE TIMES WHEN YOU ACTED A LITTLE BIT GRUFF,
BUT WE ALL SOON LEARNED IT WAS MOSTLY A BLUFF.
IT'S REAL HARD TO THINK, THAT YOU COULD BE MEAN,
WITH THAT TWINKLE IN YOUR EYE WE HAVE SO OFTEN SEEN.
BUT NOW YOU ARE MOVING, WE CAN UNDERSTAND THIS,
IT IS IMPORTANT FOR YOU TO FIND A NEW PLACE TO LIVE.
TO LEWISTON WE KNOW YOU MUST GO VERY SOON
YOU WERE ALWAYS OUR FRIEND, VIRGINIA WE LOVE YOU.
