The Song of the Stars

Clara Antoinette had been writing for many, many years. Not everyone in the family, especially the younger ones, knew about this. When this small treasure trove of poems was discovered, it provided a glimpse into a different aspect of her life for those who remembered her. The poems have three major themes: Spirituality, Children, and War. How many poems or stories have been lost over time is unknown. The surviving poems cover a time span of at least 20 years, or more, from the 1930s through the 1950s. They illustrate her deep faith, her understanding of people, her commitment to, as well as her gift for, telling stories that enthralled her audience.
