*** A Birthday Gift for Hannah ***Happy birthday my dear grandchild. You are the apple of my eye. You are my only grandchild to have, My name which came from way up high.
Long ago on a mountain peak, A child was born in the snow. He descended to the valley floor. He was the first Monte-Acuto.
His descendants were Vikings, And the Northmen warriors they say. They sailed South from the Baltic, And settled what is Normandy today.
William, Robert, and Drogo too, Sailed to England with a crew. At hastings the battle they won, Now all England's rulers were new.
They became the Kings and Queens, And some were Dukes and Earls, Or Knights in shining armour. That glistened like jewels and pearls.
These rulers of the English land, Were descendants of the Montague clan. Richard and Peter became discontent, And then to the New World they ran.
Richard sailed to Massachusetts, And brother Peter to Virginia. Where a big family he did raise. His career bloomed like a zinnia.
His descendants were true and good, Doctors and lawyers many became, Many were farmers and preachers too, Our first president was one of them.
And so you see my dear grandchild, Your great name is worth much more, Than money, gems, or fine gold, You are a Montague for sure.
Happy Birthday my dear Hannah! Your birthday present is my name. Though I can't give you riches, I will always love you just the same.
Your Grandfather, Skiles F. Montague
