One of her favorite poems captured below...
The poet, Archibald Rutledge, is South Carolina native who died in 1973. He seemed to savor life and wrote both poetry and prose to capture that experience. I've looked for this poem online and have not been able to find any record of it. This photo is one I took last year from a records book on file at Brookgreen Gardens. The photo is of a stone engraving of the poem that probably dates from the 1960's.
Kim,

Kim, I hope your mother, and all mother's, have enjoyed a glorious Mother's Day. As for the poem, I wonder if your mother loves it so much because it is also a reflection of her affection for you.
