Lester Heritage
Mickleton MMWell, today is the day, that exciting day!
The day you have been waiting for all year.
Happy birthday, Minerva, and I want to wish you the best,
And Im sure that goes for everyone here.
So Ill say Happy birthday! again
And hope you will have many more.
We have all been told that you will never grow old.
We all know you are just thirty-four.
[Lesters poem was read during a celebration of Minerva Wards life at Mickleton MM on 9/2/2007, on the occasion of her 82nd birthday. Thanks to Peggy Ward for the photo of Minerva (standing) with John and Alice Glass at the potluck lunch following the celebration at the meetinghouseED.]
