You are my angel
My guiding star
Your love is there
From near or far
Without you I could not resist
To do rash things as I exist
Your level head
Your fearless heart
Sustain me daily though apart.
Anne

There are flowery cards on the market-
But they can't show the beauty of you-
Nor the dozens of roses I could buy you-
Or a painting in oil someone drew-
I could hire a limo to drive you-
Going up to the highest bright star-
But no matter how much that it twinkled-
It would never outshine you, by far.
Always,
Anne

The first born child personified
Is raised in love and glorified
They are a seed, a branch, a tree
To grow and sow eternally
Please teach them well, these sapling years
To lead and guide and join their peers
And fairness must be drummed in too
Sixth sense will tell them what to do
Our earth needs leaders; women, men
To grasp and clasp and love again
To make decisions towards world peace
And have all hatred come to cease
God's love is in our hearts and veins
His presence lives, His glory reigns.
Anne

Ida With The Laughing Face
November 1973

She takes a dark day and turns it sunny
The kindness she shows is worth more than money
She has such style and grace
That's Ida, with the laughing face
She's always busy and having fun days
She's even cheery on blue Mondays
She keeps a hectic pace
That's Ida with the laughing face
If you ever need someone to talk to
If you ever need a helping arm
Just stand up and you'll take a quick walk to
This lady who's loaded with charm
She's celebrating another year now
But she's never older, don't shed a tear now
Happiness has found a good case
In Ida with the laughing face.
Anne
