Verses

(I know that autograph books were very popular when my Grandma Smith was young. I've seen several of them over the years, even had a couple when I was a kid. I love the many cute 'verses' people chose to put into each other's memory books and class albums. This one seems kind of sad as I read it now.)

21.  Remember me when this you see;

You may see this and not see me.

But if the grave should be my bed

Remember me when I am dead.

(I remember...)

22.  When you see a frog sitting on a tree knock it off

And think of me.

23.  Remember me early
Remember me late

Remember me on your wedding day

And send me a piece of cake.

24.  Our lives have budded on earth

May they blossom in heaven.

25.  When your school days here on earth are parted

The happiest to you given

May you pass away from the schools of earth

And graduate in heaven.

26.  Live to make life grand and noble.

Live to make it grand and true.

Labor to act your own part bravely.

Learn to think and learn to do.

27.  My pen is poor

My ink is pale

My hand shakes

Like a little dogs tale.

28.  Always remember and do not forget

The brown eyed girl

that loves you yet.
