It not known what prompted Margaret to compose this poem or whether it was something she had written years before and finally decided to have it formalized. Since the poem was labeled as written by Mom, she poem might have written it to console one or all of her children or perhaps her husband.
Her children were Herbert, Frances, Edward, Charles, and Arthur, all Jordans by her first marriage. Her husband, Robert (Bob) Graham was still alive in 1952 but he didn’t look well in some photos from May 1944. He passed away on Sep 13, 1953.
The date is definitely February 1952, but there is an unusual “hyphen” between the 19 and the 52. Perhaps she meant February 19, 1952.
The Leonhardt family gave this card to Dave Jordan in the late 1980s. Muriel Leonhardt is Margaret's sister.
