And thanks to YOU, for this thread.

That poem invariably makes me think of my grandma, who used to recite it for community picnics and other local doins where she lived, as an amateur elocutionist. Tho she passed way back in 1955, I can still hear her voice in that piece. For that reason, the poem has always been special to me, too.
