"Without halting, without rest
Lifting better up to best"
Emerson

"Send them, the homeless tempest
tossed to me;
I lift my lamp beside the golden
door-"

Emma Lazarus
Patricia Eregory

Your such a charming person
you have much charm and grace
You greet life so cheerily with a
smile upon your face
Many girls have been before you
and you've treated them all
square.
With the fairness of a mother
With tender love and care.
You try to change our living
and teach us to do right
You make our life worth living
you make the days seem bright
I've placed you on a pedestal,
you are my guiding star
And I consider it a pleasure in
knowing who you are.
I'm sure I'll never falter with
a guiding star like you
To help me on forever, each
year thra' and thru' . . . . . . .
