VALOIE IS A JOY

by Colleen Elayne Parent Crawford

We have a sister named Valoie

Who has proved a constant joy!

She has a kind, generous heart,

And always with love to impart!

As a child she was precocious,

Her sense of humor sometimes atrocious.

She likes to pull many pranks,

Our heartfelt laughs are her thanks.

One time I seem to recall

For a music teacher she did fall.

She hid the grade book as a joke,

Over it he almost had a stroke!!

She grew to be curvy and tall,

Causing many men for her to fall.

But Richard is the best, she found

In their home love does abound.

Two lovely girls came their way,

Theirs forever we hope one day.

They're progressing, it's a fact.

Theirs has always been a first class act!!

Valoie is sensitive and strong

But nothing daunts her for very long.

She keeps going, not slowing down,

Like a top that's tightly wound.

Valoie's profession is a strain,

For other agents she must train

Traveling is a necessity,

But sometimes she can visit family.

Literati is Valoie's favorite game,

Her skill at it brings her fame.

Hospitality is another of her skills,

A short stay with her cures all ills!

We love you, Valoie, never doubt!

It's what caring is all about!

We cherish the magic that you bring,

Just like the flowers in the Spring.
