This book is dedicated to

my late husband Ronald.

He walked with me through our journey in the valleys and up the hills of our life together.

Precious Gift

A smile is a precious gift

When given from the heart;

It touches deep within

To lift away all problems

That seem to come along making

Life a bothersome thing

We all can come across each day,

So when you smile at me

With one that’s just for me

It brightens my day that only

Comes with your smile when

I know it was given

Just for me alone.

My husband always could lift my spirits when I had a

stressful day.

Precious Person

Ten little fingers

Ten little toes

Perfect for all to see;

Who would have ever thought

Our union could produce

This precious little person?
