~ Dear~ Aunt Margery~

                                                                    

                                                     My own selfish needs~
                                                    
                                                        Puts my heart at sorrow~
                                                        
                                                           As tears run~
                                                             
                                                                My Aunt Margery ~
                                                                
                                                                   Went to the lord~
                                                                    
                                                        

                                                                Aunt Margery as a young child ~
