Twas The Night Before Hyster And . . .

ALL THROUGH THE HOUSE ON THE NIGHT BEFORE HYSTER- NOT A CREATURE WAS STIRRING EXCEPT FOR THIS SISTER

HER SOCKS WERE ALL PACKED IN HER CANVAS WITH CARE-- AND EVEN A NEW PAIR OF CRISP CLEAN UNDERWEAR

THE CHILDREN WERE NESTLED DOWN SNUG IN THEIR BED-- WONDERING WHY MOM HAD THIS GOLD CROWN ON HER HEAD

SHE'S LOONEY OR CRAZY OR COMPLETELY GONE MAD--THEY DON'T UNDERSTAND SO THEY THOUGHT THEY'D ASK DAD

SO OFF TO THEIR DADDY THEIR COURSERS THEY FLEW--THEY KNEW THAT DEAR DADDY WOULD KNOW WHAT TO DO

DEAR DADDY, DEAR DADDY MOM'S WEARING A CROWN-- COME QUICK OUR DEAR DADDY NOW SHE'S FLAUNTING A GOWN

SHE'S WAVING A SEPTER AROUND IN THE AIR--AND DAD FORGIVE US FOR LOOKIN' BUT SHE LACKS UNDERWEAR

WE'RE WORRIED DEAR DADDY DOES SHE THINK SHE'S A QUEEN? -- TELL US DEAR DADDY WHAT COULD THIS ALL MEAN?

HE SPOKE NOT A WORD BUT KEPT ON WITH HIS WORK--
OF WATCHING THE BALL GAME AND THEN GAVE A JERK

WHY DO YOU WORRY? WHY DO YOU FRET? -- SHE'S STILL YOUR SAME MOM ON THIS YOU CAN BET

ON TRUMAN! ON LINDSEY! ON NATHAN! NOW PART--
IT'S TIME FOR YOUR BED SO REST YOUR DEAR HEARTS

YOUR MOM WILL BE FINE JUST WAIT YOU WILL SEE-- AND OH HOW WONDERFULLY FINE SHE WILL BE.

NO GRUMBLING, NO WHINING, NO CRYING BY DAY-- NO BUYING THOSE LITTLE BLUE BANDAIDS I SAY

SO OFF TO THEIR BEDS TO THEIR CHAMBERS THEY FLEW--WITH A BED FULL OF TOYS AND A KISS FOR THEM TOO

KNOWING FOR SURE THAT WHEN THIS WAS ALL THROUGH, --THERE'D BE SO MANY WONDERFUL THINGS SHE COULD DO

LIKE RIDING AND HIKING AND SKIPPING JUMPROPE-- TO LIFTING AND WALKING SEE NOW THEY HAD HOPE

A WISH THAT TOMORROW WOULD BRING A NEW WAY-- OF LIVING TOMORROWS EACH SINGLE DAY

A LIFE FILLED WITH FUN WHERE YOU DON'T HAVE TO SEE--MOMMY HIRTING AND SAD FOR NOW SHE'LL BE FREE!

SO KISS ME MY DARLINGS AND GIVE SQUEEZEY HUG--FOR NOW I MUST GO AND GET RID OF THIS BUG

AND LAYING A FINGER ASIDE OF HER NOSE-- SHE GAVE THEM A NOD AND SHE DUSTED HER ROBE

THEN STRAIGHTENING HER CROWN UP ON TOP OF HER HEAD-- SHE GAVE'EM A WINK THEY HAD NOTHING TO DREAD.

SHE SPRANG TO HER VAN TO HER DH GAVE A WHISTLE--AND A WAY THEY BOTH FLEW LIKE THE DOWN OF A THISTLE

AND THEY HEARD HER EXCLAIM AS SHE DROVE OUT OF SIGHT-- GOD BLESS YOU MY DARLINGS, I LOVE YOU! GOOD NIGHT!

OKAY 9 HRS TO CORONATION. I AM A BIT APPREHENSIVE. A LITTLE NERVOUS AND ANXIOUS. I AM SO READY TO GET THIS OVER WITH. PRAY FOR MY BABIES THIS WEEK AS IT WILL BE HARD FOR THEM. MY LITTLEST HAS NEVER BEEN AWAY FROM ME (NOR I HIM) I KNOW GOD'S WILL WILL BE DONE AND I LOOK FORWARD TO THE BLESSINGS TO COME.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT AND CARE. I LOOK FORWARD TO VISITING WITH YOU ON THE OTHER SIDE.

FOR THOSE OF YOU WHOSE CORONATIONS ARE STILL A WAY OFF. KEEP THE FAITH. IT SEEMS LIKE IT WILL NEVER GET HERE AND THEN SUDDENLY IT IS HERE. YOU WONDER WHERE THE TIME WENT!

MAY GOD RICHLY BLESS YOU!

I LOVE your poem!!!How creative even during your
stressful time!!!! Good luck with your surgery and
I prayed for you today. Please tell this LIW about
your surgery when you are able.

I agree with everyone else. Wonderful poem. That was VERY creative. Come back when you are able to let us know all about your coronation. I'll keep you in my prayers.

Your poem is so beautifull. You sure have a talent. I personaly think it should be added to the hyster sister bedtime stories. Come back soon and best wishes for a speedy recovery

May you have a lovely coronation, and enjoy your new status of Royalty. Your kids will benefit greatly, being associated so closely to a real Live !!!!!!
