Poetic Obituaries: [Elaine Walton] enjoyed writing poetry,

her flower gardens, art and crafts, cooking for her friends and family, and spoiling her grandchildren.

Elaine was my grandmother, and actually published at least one of her poems. I think it was called "God Bless the Child" or something along those lines. It might have only been published through one of those shady contests that chooses every poem that gets submitted to make money off the book proceeds, but even still I would like to know, because I would like to have her poem. If you have any resources, know of any of those sorts of contests or anything, please let me know. I'll check back to see if you've replied. If you find anything please contact me. Thank you.

I just searched poetry.com. which used to run contests like that, but came up empty. If I think of anything else, I'll follow through.

Here's the search I used: http://www.google.com/#sclient=psy&hl=en&q=walton+site:poetry.com&aq=f&aqi=&aql=&oq=&pbx=1&fp=d46d7fcb6d497136
