Chapter 1-Princesses glow into Queens

We miss you; Queen

Dedicated to our Mother, Mrs. Johnnie Mae Worthon

Our Queen (1942-2014)

We miss our Queen's love,

like a guiding star,

we kept the faith, Lord! Look where we are.

We slept to noon

and stayed up nights-we cut on the switch,

but, could not see the light.

We prayed the psalms as polar winds blew,

we hoped and knew,

that's all we could do. We brave with broken hearts

and grieved to bear,

we miss you Mom, our Queen's loving care.

Dedicated to Hallie Quinn Brown

(1845-1949)

Hallie Quinn Brown, child of former slaves,

visited a lord's castle in England;

as guest of the Lord Mayor of London
