Love is Forever
I first called this poem "Sisters are Forever" and sent it to my sister to make amends for an unimportant disagreement. Then on Valentines Day I changed title to "Love is Forever".

Good Morning Smile
I wrote this when Barbie, my 4th child was a baby. She is now a grandmother of 2. When she was just a few months old she would scream and when she saw me she would stop screaming and start smiling.

Farewell
I wrote Farewell when my sister moved to WVA on the mountain in 70s. Mary Libby died in February 2009. I found this old poem today to read in memoir class. I couldn't hold back the tears.

That's When I'll Stop Loving You
I don't remember what the argument was with my husband years ago but I remember him saying "You don't love me anymore"

I'm Willing
I wrote this in the early 70's when I read in the Bible where Paul wrote... I do that which I don't want to do... It really applies to me.
