Grandmother's Story
Tell it one more time
About the baby in the basket
Left at the mission door
In China long ago
The fire that took your father's home
And brought him poverty
His fortune gone in flames
They had no place to go
Your mother's tears were flowing
Like a river from her eyes
As they placed you near the front door
With a note to let them know
Good fortune was encountered
At the mission home in China
You never felt neglected
Because they loved you so
Your beauty and your brilliance
Could never be ignored
Your suitor was a scholar
Romance began to grow
So tell me how you traveled here
As a mother and a wife
How you came to rescue others
Who had no place to go
You saved up for the journey
So full of hopes and dreams
Then traveled to this country
And never let fear show
Your husband was invited
To take a teaching post
At our great university
Right here in Baltimore
Your home became the center
Of your community
For art and Chinese culture
They all came to your door
