'Mona Lisa'...

Shine....

I truly feel...

like the frame... that gets to hold...

the 'Mona Lisa'...

Look... look...

at all of the beauty....

I feel...

Blessed...to be...

'the frame'...

Love...Love...Love...

if that's all...

I ever do.

My Great... Grandmother...who... raised my Dad... from the time he was Four...

Flora Belle....{Shuck - Conner... Derby, Iowa.}
