Although you passed in 1943
Dear Netta, I and a few
Read your books
As fresh today as were
As they were in your time yesterday
Are as relevant today

You challenge those who would suppress

Womankind - humankind!
Challenge stereotyping gender & periods of times
Stereotyping parenting of the Victorian age!
Now when I read your books
As if you are writing just for me!
You are smiling, with a twinkle in your eye
Just like the portrait I have of you, I have on my wall
You are very much alive to me, dear, Netta!
You have not passed away within each book you wrote
You are very much alive to me!
