This beautiful poem is the creation of nationally recognized poet, Genie Graveline. The Verse is ...."For A Dear Aunt"...... As I have traveled through the years,...... time has taught me many things....... Perhaps the greatest lesson I have learned......is that it is so important......to express our gratitude and love......to the special people in our lives. ......That's why I want to thank-you today......before another minute passes, ......for everything that you have done for me. ...... Throughout my life, you were always there... ...... with a smiling face, a gentle touch, ......and just the right words......to comfort me or cheer me on. ......I always knew how much you loved me. ......Now, more than anything, ......I want to be certain that you know......just how deeply I love you, ......and I want to thank-you......for playing such a beautiful part......in my life."
