Untitled Poem by Anna Helen McDonald

My poetry is an outpouring
of all my thoughts and deeds
A way to share accomplishments,
disappointments, and needs
My life is varied -- many
Paths have I tread
Some had happy endings
Others filled with dread
From carefree school days
to marriage, to being the mother of 4
Watching them grow up and
eventually becoming a grandmother of 4
also along with my children,
A daughter & 3 sons, -- I acquired
a terrific son and daughter
by marriage -- 2 granddaughters
and 2 grandsons.
My husband is the love of
my life -- all my 45 years
as his wife. Life is
precious and I treasure each
day -- one by one. God
blessed me with these treasures
to enjoy every day of my life.
