There is a native Magnolia in Massachusetts on Cape Ann, and the town of Magnolia is named that because the local species were found there. It’s on the small side compared to the large specimens we usually think of as being Magnolia.

The Last Train (Sonnet)

We wait at the station, Mother and I,one final stop for her – painless she prays;I busied at bedside – prolonged goodbye –memories and regrets filling our days. “We live too long,” she wearily proclaims“Why must suffering linger till the end?”I plea and bargain, call angelic names,yet the will to survive refuses to bend.
