Helen and I are very proud of our daughter, Emily.
This poem is a valentine for her from both of us.

How Fortunate We've Been
by Harry Kottler
In America, first rock and roll
divided young folks from the old.
Then, rap made things even worse;
young people now began to curse.
Some teenagers say words obscene
while Emily says words quite clean.
Some teenagers court popularity
while Emily courts purity.
Some teenager hate schoolwork chores
while Emily is never bored.
Some teenagers procrastinate
while Emily is never late.
Some teenagers always complain
while Emily is always sane.
Some teenagers hate folks who have aged
while Emily to all is sage.
Pardon us for being proud,
but as parents we're allowed
to note how fortunate we've been
in a world where kin shun kin.
..............
With love and respect,
Harry and Helen
