Grandma B's Poems

I'm trying to find the poems that my much loved Grandma Bessie (Dad's Mom) wrote so I can make a little book of them. So far I only have a few, but this one just made us laugh! It was written on a notebook sheet of paper which made me think she had written it at convention perhaps! I think it must go to our hymn # 321 and was written for our workers (probably my Aunt Charlotte).

Now my Grandma Bessie was an amazing Grandma, wish everyone could have one like her! She lived in a huge house all by herself and did NOT drive. When we (as kids) got to go stay with her, the first thing we did was walk down to the 50th Street Market and buy the type of food we would like. This always included something like Grape Soda which was yummy! Then we would spend our time playing games together or playing make-believe in the huge attic! She played the piano beautifully and wrote poems about everything!! Looks like she had a great sense of humor as well!


So, if any of you have an original poem she wrote for you, I'd love to be able to borrow it long enough to scan it for the book I'm making (or you could scan it and send me the file). Enjoy!
