Tammy in 1989, when I wrote the poem for her

Tammy in 1971

Tammy

Tammy Lynn, my oldest daughter of three,
All three of you girls mean the world to me.
You have compassion, optimism and Love,
Although I'd like to take the credit, most goes to him above.

You always try to help people out,
And that`s what life should be about.
On the whole, you`re cheerful and kind,
You'd help a friend who`s in a bind.

In the past you would drive me crazy,
You have to admit you could be very lazy.
There were times when we would go at it tooth and nail,
You would scream, pout, sulk and wail.

At times we'd have a test of wills,
I'd ask you to do somehing, you'd say no.
Sometimes I'd wonder, are we mother and daughter,
Or is it more like friend or foe ?

Now you`re going away,
And I don`t know what to do.
I know it`s only 4 years,
But I sure will miss you.

Make sure you write quite often,
Please make sure that you do.
Until you come home again,
Remember that your mother Loves You.

Mom

Footnote...I wrote this for Tammy on August 1989. She didn`t
come home, she ended up getting married.. and now I have
to settle for vists. But that`s ok. Below she has her own
little one, Anna-Marie.
