Bonnie was also a poet and this was one of her writings ...
WHO IS A POET
I love ... but I did not create love.
I sing my songs and sonnets,
But also does the dove.
The perfumed fragrance of the flowers
Speaks to me from some celestial power.
I hold my spirits to be free,
But yet I envy the rolling sea.
It is not I who write poetry.
Yea, my heart would pound, my pen but thrill
To praise the splendor of yonder hill.
A poet but shares in some small part
What life has writ upon his heart.
Nay, no man living or no man dead
Could create a verse like He has said.
