MARVELLOUS MOLLIE

We call her Mum, Granny or even Mollie,
She’s always patient, kind, loving – sweet as a lolly.

Bushwalking and birding get her out and about,
Sighting orchids and wrens, she may even shout.

She loves her beautiful garden, a haven at home,
Roses, petunias, lily’s, but never a gnome.

The challenge of farming, long years at Geerak Park,
Always caring for family, from morning till dark.

Wife, mother and friend, she’s a patient listener,
Church, museum or birdwatching, a faithful contributor.
