Tribute to Mrs. Vesta Douglas

Freeman of the City of Terrace

In the springtime of her youth, she had a childish grin

The door to her home would be open, and she would welcome you in

Sit down over there, rest easy for a while

As she handed you a coffee, with that grin and a smile.

She is loved by many, disliked by none

She is every child’s favourite Mum

The joy in her giving could be seen in her eyes

As she looks out her window, to the heavenly skies.

To know her is a pleasure, to not is a sin

Remember her door is open, and a welcome to come on in

Take her a bunch of flowers, or a candy or two

She will gladly share them, with me and with you.
