A Poem for Milly
Emily Mary Martel Green,
Born in Winnipeg, eldest of fifteen.
A wife, a mother, a grandmother too,
This is the legacy we have from you.
Gentle and loving, you always stood strong,
All that you did, will be with us lifelong.
You married your Fred, at a very young age,
Raised five children, with love and with sage.
Your days were all filled, with ongoing chores,
Cooking and washing, and oh so much more.
At the end of the day when the dishes were done,
The apron came off, to the rink you would run.
Hockey was always a part of your day,
Cheering the boys and watching them play.
So many hobbies you had on the go,
How you ever found time, we’ll never know.
Gardening was always your joy and your pride,
Moving dirt and flag stones, in your stride.
You always baked great pies galore,
Apple, pumpkin, meat and more.
You loved to pickle everything in sight,
Cucumbers, cabbage, beets and the like.
Your greatest dish, it has been said,
Was making your famous petit heads.
Rolling and shaping with such expertise,
Stuffing them carefully with potato and cheese.
But that’s not all, there’s so much more,
You’ve sewn enough quilts to open a store.
Scrabble and reading, gave you such pleasure,
Jigsaw puzzles, crosswords, you did at your leisure.
Many years ago, you left the city behind,
You made us all wonder, what you had in mind.
Farming, you said, to all our dismay,
Off to Markdale you went, the very next day.
Cats and horses, chickens and cows,
Dogs and ducks, and a big fat sow.
You settled into a great new life,
As a handywoman, and a farmer’s wife.
Ten years went by, and next thing we knew,
You sold the farm and off you flew.
Buying new homes to fix and sell,
You waved to us all, a fond farewell.
So many moves, you took in your stride,
You cherished your homes with such joy and pride.
An inspiration to your family and friends,
Our loving memory of you will never end!!
