Thelma Howard: My Dear Cousin
Thelma has a significant life
full of good memories and woe
Her resilience and ability to
forgive, she conquered each foe.
Caring people stood close by
knowing adversity she’d delete
Courage, wisdom,
determination, her weapons sure to defeat.
Our admiration Thelma has won as
she conquered oppression
In the midst of her battle
Thelma would show loving expression.
Pain she repeatedly erased-
wisdom and grace now her reward
Her spiritual knowledge and
faith have empowered her forward.
Our hats we take off to you for
the wonderful things that you do
With little you do much; God has
blessed your worthy life so true
Our appreciation is yours for
the success you have bravely won
You have never forgot to enjoy
the adventures that are always fun.
The Howard family as well as the
Howse clan love you dearly
They can see that you learned
and mastered their lessons clearly
Courage, kindness, forgiveness
and love- you excelled at all
These traits success will bring;
always remember God’s calling.
