Analysis of Happy Birth Date, Mom!



Happy Birth Date, Mother
A strong, but very sad woman
To a Beautiful kind-hearted soul
Whom taught me self-respect and was self-respected, too! Like her India Roots
A loving hard-working beautiful person,
with beauty of a queen, like her mother
Veleria "Queen" Swanson
Of the Swanson Food Family
that put family first
Religious, Righteous, self-morals & values, with dignity
and true fullness
I stood for and I followed will be sadly missed
and forever and ever adorned
I Miss U Much,
You're number one daughter and look-a-like
with cuteness & cuddles of smiles, RIP!
A Father Bruce McKinley Clark, that what like a Beast
Self-Respect, No one could talk bad about, or will
The Most High!
Ange!
