"How the Mormon Girl became a Hooker" (written June 2010- updated Nov 2011)Born in Hollywood, number 9 of 10 -A baby was born to Lloyd & Helen.
Little Mary Sunshine - was her nickname~
Easy to please but not easy to tame. Big beautiful eyes,
So sparkly and blue. so sweet and so happy and so darn-cute too!
She too had been taught the church going ways.
But that's what they all did in Utah those days.
Don't cuss, steal or cheat, The neighbors are your friend.
Believe there are 3 heavens when life comes to an end.
Every Sunday was Church, pay your tithing percent
and never go on a date without parental consent.
Her nephews were her age, Her sisters were teens-
Always looking so pretty, and staying so lean.
Being one of the youngest, She was often left out.
So she'd sit in her room, Feeling alone as she pout.
Tom boy as a kid, Blossoming into a girl.
Mary wanted so badly To fit into this world.
Life wasn't so easy but it wasn't that bad...
Just as long as you didn't get in trouble by dad!
She learned to like music, She learned to like boys
She played the piano, 'Stead of playing with Toys.
She was taught like the rest, Even having the same dream
"Meet your Missionary Knight And become his Sweet Queen."
When 18 came around There was only 3 things to do:
Get married, have babies, Live "happily-ever-after" too.
But God had a plan as he smirked from above...
She then met - Dee Pollard - and of course, fell in love.
In the Mormon Church temple is where they got hitched.
But the marriage was rocky and soon lost its stitch.
Each had expectations that neither could keep.
But their commitment was strong and dedication was deep.
- Crystal Jean - was their first And she lit of their lives.
There was peace for a moment As they put down the knives.
- Christopher Dee - was then born. The Pollard's now "complete"...
But the marriage still crumbled underneath Mary's feet.
- Colissa Mary - was born And those 3 sure did shine.
That's when Mary Helen knew It was finally time.
Time to move on alone, Time to follow her heart.
Even if it did mean Tearing the family apart.
Mary wanted a romance that Dee didn't understand.
Quickly she found it- In a jealous foreign man.
She thought she found true love, her fairytale finally here-
But she couldn't satisfy her new husband's constant fear.
Learning Wander had a temper (is why he couldn't stay.)
So Mary changed the locks and sent him on his way.
But not before God gave Mary another jewel…
Starring: - Rebecca Richelle – (But left Mary with no "fuel")
No fuel to buy diapers, or formula or food.
Yes Mary was happy But depressed in her mood.
Dave Penney had some money and he was happy to share.
Yes Mary seemed desperate but she didn't care.
He came with some baggage- and it tore them in two.
That's when Mary left Utah to Kalamazoo.
In Kalamazoo she pondered On what life was all about.
Eager to find her calling But also full of doubt.
No one really understood her, But she was finally
breaking free. Free of being the "Mary Sunshine"
Everyone wanted her to be. She went looking
for some clarity Did Soul searching from abroad.
Traveling cities and through states Without Daddy's "approving nod".
Using nothing but her credit cards Racking up large sums of debt.
No obligations now except Becca- and the Mexican she just met.
Ramon she thought she loved. But turns out he played a good game.
He bluffed his way to Mary's heart and used her for her innocent name.
So she focused on loving Mary 'Stead of depending on a man.
Not worrying if others would care But hoping they soon could understand.
Raising Becca with no siblings Hoping love might find her someday.
It was Kalamazoo she escaped to, As the other 3, in Utah stayed.
So I guess it was only Arizona- but at the time it sure seemed far.
I barely saw my mother as she chased her dream to become a star.
She wrote many songs about love. All true songs reflecting her life.
Expressing her struggles with Ramon, Yet still happy to not be his wife.
Missing her kids she longed for balance, She told the recording people goodbye.
She finally knew what she wanted. A little freedom with the perfect guy.
Shopping at Smith's one day she found Keith 10 Years Younger and not very scary.
Mary instantly fell for this Hooker... And this Hooker fell instantly for Mary.
Keith was sweet; he was kind but not timid Responsible, honest and true.
Good looking with blonde locks not brown hair And deep sincere eyes that also were blue.
He treated her like a Queen Showed her Love, Gave her Trust and Respect.
She melted each day she was with him And I'm sure you know what happened next...
This Mormon girl became a Hooker. Yes this mother of 4 found her mate.
They moved their families into a small house and the 8 of them got along great.
Adding her kids with Keith's girls went smooth In fact, It was as easy as pie.
'Cause Mary's 4 kids were entertaining And Vanessa and Alyssa weren't shy.
Binding two families - Ashley Rose - was now here.
With so many kids- so much happened each year.
Now a step-mom (mother of 7) Painting her house as her own slice of heaven.
Mary finally found love Life was stable, But without credit cards
There's no cable! Mary finally painted a world of her own.
House full of happiness, Never feeling alone.
God and her Mother answering prayers from above.
Happily-Ever-After No more searching for love.
Sure there was fighting- Mostly yelling (No fists)
But what's a Soap Opera WITHOUT all the twists?
To make matters better She put Keith through school.
Keith massages her weekly Ain't that Cool?
Through the years She's become more self aware.
Turning heads she can make men still stare.
Learned religion from her parents, She balances well.
Between heaven on earth and her limitations of hell.
She may not be praying like Daddy had wanted.
Might not be living the life Momma dreamed.
But she made mistakes so her kids wouldn't have to
Passing on wisdom not just good looking genes.
Before you knew it, time passed, kids were grown.
Moving out of the house, having dreams of their own.
Crystal lives now in Phoenix, and is a mom of four.
Chris is a Dad of one, and expecting one more.
Colissa's in college a waitress at night.
Becca's in school too with her dreams still in sight.
Vanessa works real hard and Alyssa does too.
Ashley just turned 13 but is going on 22.
Her Grandkids give her joy (as most grandbabies often do.)
Her first one's - Krislynn Night – Who's sweet & smart as a whip too.
- Matthew Ryan - is a Gemini Just like his mother's mom.
Stick him in a little box and he'll go off like a time bomb.
- Brooklyn D -has all the spunk that she is gonna need.
'Cause she's got 3 older brothers And she was born to lead.
Mary's raised real good kids and is honest about much.
She's so proud of her family, her business and such.
She's become very successful as a Whimsical Arteest.
It's been their bread & butter, Heck it's been their whole feast!
Plays her heart out like nobody's watching She dances like nobody cares.
These are reasons why we love our Mother- It's no wonder she gets constant stares!
Yes sometimes things are rough... But what else did you expect?
As long as you have faith, You're bound for Love, Trust & Respect.
The moral of this story: Is the Greatest Thing You'll ever Learn; "Just learn to Love each other & learn to BE Loved in Return..."
. . .
Oh wait, there more to add In this story of Mary’s life
She’s decided to leave her Keithy -She can no longer stand to be his wife.
He hasn’t learned to love -More than her or himself -or less!
He’s no longer supporting his family - Staying sober is now his test
So if he fails to pass, Mary will not go back- And Keith will have to grow up
& The house will be his to pack.
She’s done supporting men, Who don’t support her dream.
So she will just stay single. It’s that- or she’ll just scream!
