ruthadele's family treasures

.

This poem is in the back of a bible presented to Winfred Kenneth Trimble, my grandfather, by his mother, Margaret Dakin Trimble, on December 25, 1884.

Remember, love who gave you this,
When other days shall come,
When she who had thy earliest kiss
Sleeps in her narrow home.
Remember 'twas a mother gave
The gift to one she's die to save.

That mother sought a pledge of love
The holiest for her son.
And from the gifts of God alone,
She chose a goodly one:
She chose for her beloved boy
She guided to light and life and joy.

And bade him keep the gift - that when
The parting hour should come
They might have hope to meet again
In their eternal home.
She said his faith in this would be
Sweet incense to her memory.

And should they scoffer in his doubt
Laugh that fond gift to scorn
And bid him cast that gift aside
That he from youth had borne
She bade him pause and ask his breast
If they or she had loved him best.
