She did not care for wordly things Nor laurels hope to claim. She cared not 
for the world's applause, For vain and fleeting fame. She'd been denied the 
World's "high lights" The ease you buy with gold. Tho' 'tis what many deem her 
good, She's missed "good times", I'm told. The World can have what she has 
missed, To envy, there are none. She had the kisses of a child, At eve----when 
day is done---She did not care for wanderings When crowds went here and there. 
She asked of God one thing in life, Twas tis her daily prayer; "Lord, take my 
life and earthly goods, "One boon I crave, no other "When you complete 
my 'Book of Life' "Write: I'm a Worthy Mother." Gladwin County Record dated 07-
