A BLIND GIRL'S POEM

Miss Lillian M. Kimball of Macwahoc, Me., for her friend, Lora E. Bemis, during her stay with her at Dexter, Dec. '90.

Dear friend so true and faithful
To You our love we now impart;
Andy may the lines that are written here,
Bring Joy and gladness to your heart.

Many lives have been made brighter,
Many a heart been filled with joy,
By the cheerful loving presence
Which the darkest cloud it can destroy.

And what in all the world is better,
Thank a cheerful soul and a love divine;
A love that makes the world seem brighter
That spreadeth joy and draws no line.

And for these noble deeds, dear friend,
We bring these flowers of richest hue;
And twine around thy youthful brow
The wreath of love and friendship true.

And if in goodness you stand firm,
And ever seek for truth and love;
We'll strew thy path with many blessings
Borne from unseen realms above.

And angel guides will ever help thee,
Up the stepping stones of time;
Help to make thy life ere brighter,
And crown thee in a fairer clime.

So ever live for those who love you,
Whose hearts are kind and true;
For the heaven that smiles above you.
And the good that you can do.
