Penny for Your …

My sister Penny
Was a thoughtful child,
No Henny Penny she,
Amongst so much talent,
so many gifted sibs,
She held her own and never flinched.
Forged a marriage, careers and kids,
She still moves forward,
On her head a live oak leaved ringlet has all the virtues of our youth,
And now wisdom, Penny is my Athena of the Hill Country,
My Lady of the Lake.
