A Poem for Sydney
Written for the Temples' 2-yr-old daughter, Sydney, when the gift shop was purchased in 20
Sydney, my darlin', I want you to know
How this old world works on our path here below,
Some days are hard and tiring and drear,
But darlin', we have a chance to give out good cheer;

To brighten a sweet little grandmother's eyes,
Or a newlywed couple's start to their lives;
It's a grand desire--a more honorable prize
The bonds we nurture like family ties

Now, ladies (and some fellas) love beautiful things,
And the joy to loved ones they oftentimes bring;
When ribbon-tied trinkets a human soul lifts--
That's the best part of Sydney's Gifts

Love,
     Mom
