My Grandmother's poem

I did find my Grandmother's poem book so I thought I would post her entry. The book was a collection of work from University of Alabama English students published in 1926. My grandmother(pictured above) did major in English...but I did not! hardy har har. She evidently loved poetry because I have a lot of her old books and most were poetry.

Compensation

Perhaps to have had no vision

Is better than one blurred

By all the dilillusionments

That have occurred.

But although my dreams are shadows

My fire but a spark

I have remembered daylight

And do not fear the dark
