The poem is very beautiful, a mother writing about a young daughter who has died, and how precious she was to her. I may have gotten some of the words not exactly arranged right, and omitted some, especially in the last verse, there are several more verses to the poem. I am thinking it was never published in anything but the local newspaper, and may have been someone from Union Co. who wrote the poem, if they weren't published, it is a shame, such talent there! I will find it, and when I do, will send it to the list. Thanks for your help, Dreama
