Amanuensis Monday - Grandma Hill's Poetry, Week 14

Young men walk on trouble's brink

Doing things before they think

Old men like to sit and whittle

Thinking much, but doing little.

Nancy Jane Wiley Hill (1875-1960) was always writing something.  Many of those poems are now in the possession of her granddaughter Shirley Kern.  Shirley, with the help of her sister-in-law Ruth Ormsby, transcribed these poems in 1996 for a Hill-Ormsby-Kern family reunion.  I am going to post many of these poems so that they may be enjoyed by all.
