Poppa's sister's daughter was she,
Her deeds enrich my memory.
Years have passed by, yet she remains
Lovingly lodged there in my brain.

Since I wrote this, I actually found the carbon copy (yes, that's what we used decades ago) of the original poem that I sent to my cousin in 1963 or 1964. I think it was about a year ago that I found it, but I can't remember if I posted it here on PH. I will have to check and see.

I was zooming through your list of poems to gather the ones for June's showcase, and this poem's title caught my eye. so i backed up, but it really did NOT say syphilis, like i thought it had. that really happened; no offense meant. i called a female cousin today who was once MORE than a cousin and friend. i like this poem and that Phyllis did such a good deed for you years ago. a friend urged ME to look online for my 4th wife (8 years ago) so i guess i have him to blame............ i mean thank...........for that! gotta get back to what i was up to, but maybe i'll get to your 'lost poems' some day, especially if you send it to me. i CAN'T ignore my messages. i wouldn't be able to sleep at night. well, at least I could eat; nothing stops THAT! bri :)
