My niece wrote this to her mother, my sister-in-law. I think it is great!

Ode to Ginny Simpson, by Gail Bryan
There once was a girl named Ginny, she grew up with hardly a penny.
The farm was a struggle, it rained but a puddle
And the vegetables were not very many!
She found that she shined
Learning the secretarial grind, in classes at Adams City High.
She set her dreams real tall ,maybe chairing a ball.
She started to think that at the roller rink
She would find a great man who had it all.
That Harold! Well he was her ticket to get away from a house with no spicket!
It was going to be slow before the water would flow Lickety Splicket!
The war came and off Harold went, leaving her pregnant and not very content.
Two rooms and a path to a outhouse out back
Was not the "ticket" that Ginny had meant.
When Harold came home from the scuffle, he bought her a hoe and a shovel.
She hoped he'd come through after kid number two,
So they poured concrete and lived in a hovel.
In the basement in dear Adams City, along came a girl looking pretty.
Three kids were enough. It was time to do their stuff
And real estate made them both giddy.
They built houses-one at a time, and sold them to make back their dime.
They finally got stable and were ready and able
To launch their real estate line.
With barely a car and a fender, they convinced Gordon to be their first lender.
Ginny did de'cor while Harold built more & God saw their dreams come to render.
Its amazing how far they have grown
From a shack to many mansions they have flown.
But evryone knows it's the woman who glows......

And it's Ginny who inspired Harold all along!
