Henry




Henry

Dear Iva,
I couldn't be more sure.
But are you?

You'd give all that up for me?
For a life on this farm?
For a job at the school?

When I look at your face
in the photo you sent
I still can't believe it's true.

    Oh, Iva! She's a spunky one! Just look at that pose. She's going to do just fine in life! I'll bet she was a fun person to know.

    I didn't see this one coming!
    Surprised!


    "Someone"

    Folks always said
    I was the smart sister,
    I'd be someone.

    Doctor?
    Lawyer?
    College professor?

    I absolutely knew
    they were right.

    And now I've proven it

    I'm headed west
    to be someone…

    A farmer's wife!

      Probably a few ranks even lower than teacher, but I'm still proud of her (me) for following her passion!
