Faye Lowes wrote this wonderful poem about her daughter - notice the dates.
A MOTHER’S HEART
Bright blue eyes and button nose,
Rosebud hands and tiny toes,
Sweetest angel Mommy knows --
Baby Jenny Susan.
Ever, ever she’s on the go;
So much to see, so much to know!
Each day I watch the big world grow
For Baby Jenny Susan.
All too soon she’ll be on her way --
I cannot follow, or make her stay.
Come let me hold you, while still I may,
Baby Jenny Susan.
"Mommy" 11-15-60
Far away, yet ever near;
More precious with each passing year;
Thank you, Lord, for a daughter so dear
As my beloved Jenny.
Mom 11-15-87
Through times of laughter, times of tears,
Joyful hours, lonely fears --
How quickly pass our earthly years !
How Jenny’s boys are growing!
All too soon, I’ll be on my way.
They cannot follow; I cannot stay.
Lord, hold them close for me, I pray.
They’re Your beloved children.
