In deciding so write a poem for our family newsletter, I was reminded that in 1935 I was the author of the class poem for our February graduating class of the Arthur Dixon Grammar School. That day when I recited (I remember it well) the poem , I saw my mother and father sitting in the front row of the balcony of our assembly hall and I was so proud, but nervous, to be speaking. The poem was called "Out of the Harbor into the Sea". Where did those words come from? I don't truly know, but now I write a poem circa 2008. Where do the words come from? I don't know but I'll try to be an author once again.
"When I was young and fancy free,
I thought of my place on the family tree.
First as a daughter one of three.
Then as a wife to the one man in my life.
But I never, never had a hunch
That I'd be the mother of the Brady Bunch!!
