"To Aunt Bertha on her Eightieth Birthday."
Sept. 1952
Southern hills, college town,
Quaker mother, cap and gown.
Preacher father, preacher lover,
Devoted wife, beloved mother.
Sacrifices freely made,
Darkness, unfair trade.
Once more the light.
Grandchildren first sight.
Faithful husband gone away.
She alone must stay.
Newest baby, Jimmy, loved,
Grandpa sees him from above.
Mighty years of joy and tears,
Wonderful life through the years.
Aunt Bertha was Bertha Lambert Harris, wife of Joseph Harris.
[Pauline Warfel]
