One of many unpublished poems written by my mother and dedicated to me when I was growing up. I, now, have the privilege of sharing them with the world under my by-line for her glory.

I Wish You...

I wish you Happiness...
     Not just the kind that bubbles up,
But Happiness that is a quiet peace 
     Within your heart.
I wish you Faith...Faith that faces the blackest sky, 
     And says, "I trust." 
I wish you Understanding... 
     So that your dreams will not be shattered,
Because you do not see the other side. 
      I do not wish you Fame, or Power, or Gold...
ButI I think what share of these that come your way
     Will be the brighter, and the dearer, and still more sweet,
Because these things belong to you.

A poem written by Louise W. Sumlin for her teenage daughter, Ann.

A good way to raise an angel I suspect-
Wishing the right things.
This is precious on so many levels.
I am very busy sharing my parents- their gifts will reach out as long as I'm alive.

John
