BABY SISTER

Last on the scene our Eleanor Jean,

bringing our family to one of thirteen.

     Loved by us all, and so much fun.

her Mother's heart, she surely won.

A job well done, when she was asked,

     a keeper of an awesome task.

From Heaven above and Earth below,

     No one can match her friendly glow.

What would we have done?  I wonder still.

     If she had not said:  "Yes I will,"

     To being a sister and a friend,

how lucky we are, she was our END.
