Marilyn

Clarence A. Graham, Jr.

Marilyn, Marilyn My lovely Marilyn
A wonderful woman without being din

During my first week at Edgewood Vista
She was one of the few who greeteed me with gusta

At times, I see her helping others at our Dining Room
I am sure that God in Heaven has for her a beautiful room

It is my pleasure to see her smile at me
Every morning in our Dining Room
