95. Beautiful poems my mother, Ruth Allen Miles wrote !
My mother, Ruth Allen Miles, was a gifted soprano, teacher, mother, and also a poetess! She wrote quite a few lovely poems, and I have a few of them. I will include the poems I have in this blog. While Ruth was teaching at Salt Lake City, the winter of 1945-1946, and going to the U. Of U. she was summoned to her sister Adelia’s back in the small town of Washington, near St. George. Her mother, Levinah Emeline Wilson Allen had had a heart attack. Ruth arrived there a few hours before she died. This was taken of Levinah when she was about 20. In her history, Ruth wrote: "She died as she had lived – Bravely, with no word of complaint. Her last words were, “I’m glad to be here with my children. Your voices are so quiet," and then, “It’s so peaceful here,” and with a smile she breathed her last. God bless her memory. How wonderful it will be to see her smile again." (Pal)- Ruth was very close to her mother, as she had lived with my mother
