Mother, Daughter, Sister, Lover

Mother, daughter, sister, lover,
Her needles and pins hold the pieces together,
She'll thread your pearls with her words of wisdom,
In the palm of her hand, your future is there running
Through

Mother, daughter, sister, lover,
There's no perfect choice, as you walk in your future
Be still a child on your bed of eggshell,
Behind your first steps, it's her shadows that cushion
Your fall

All questions will simply beg,
The most innocent replies.
She'll make you a daisy chain
And cry as you walk away.

Tangled webs of the Meiklejohn and Vintons

  The Vinton's in my family derive from David Vinton born June 1797 in Glamorgan, Llangynwyd Parish, Wales. He married Mary David on June 20, 1818 in Llangynwyd Parish, Wales.
David and Mary had 14 children.  Of their 14 children two of their daughters married sons of Meiklejohn's  and one son married a Meiklejohn daughter, keeping it all in the family.
