Memories of 1900
To Thelma Beatrice Rose Reid
This date reminds me of days gone by,
Of struggles and joys untold;
For days when you were little I sigh,
And I was not so old.
The future ahead may look dreary,
Or it may be sunny and bright;
Whatever, they be dull or cheery,
I hope you are happy tonight.
Written by Mother Nelia McCullaugh.
