My Daughter
by Jane E PearceHow many years have flown,
and with days of pride,
you have always been welcome
by my side.
There seems to be a chasm now-
perhaps you you miss your life
with its calm when we were all together-
with smiles- Donna,you, your Dad, and Mom.
Perhaps I have heaped on you
my secret tears and grief,
but I'll try to smile more
and be silly wouldn't that be a relief?
Please don't dread to come here.
I'll promise more laughter.
For Sandra's lunch I got giddy-
and didn't know where I was at ----
so I bought a lovely powder blue, straw hat.
There, I have said a few things that have been in my mind
you see I love ya' Mable- the best daughter and friend I could find.

This is so poignant. I pray your daughter sees this as an olive branch rather than anything else she may interpret it as.
