Grandmother's Benediction

My grandmother found this.  She had it printed in caligraphy on some nice parchment paper and given to each of us grandkids:

All of you are dear to me

And only the best

Is wished for you.

As your livs progress

Remember the best

Is yet to be.

Through your efforts

And kindness to all

Sucess to each of you

Is bound to fall.

Good manners lead

To social grace

Which really does

Have an important place

In the opinion of others

In any place,

But most important of all

To reverance and love

for the human race.
