Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Friends and Friendships
In giving out this little book, the author fully realizes that there is nothing more than passing merit in any one that goes to make the collection of poems which have been written, some in the years long gone by, others in later days, but they have each been inspired by the things gathered from observation and experience, and have been prompted by the thoughts which pleased or pained to the extent that she felt that they must be put into words that she might see them.
A few of them have been written for special occasions and, possibly, many persons who read them now will remember of having read them before. If so, and they pleased then, perhaps they may revive the memory of some pleasant occasion and you may find a pleasing pastime in their perusal.
At any event, I submit them without apology to my dear old friends with the request that you read not critically, but find the trend of thought and gather whatever is meant to be brought out in story or line.
