@Picklebobble2 My mother's favorite. She had it framed and hung in the living room.

This poem was my bible growing up. I would come back to it many times during rough times. @Picklebobble2

Amongst the Limericks and the 'kiddy' rhymes, i [i]found[/i] this poem at the back of the book we were reading.
