The Silver Thimble
Great grandma used a silver thimble
aid in darning and mending stuff,
she turned shirt collars and shirt cuffs
elbow, fingers, wrist so nimble
her work she made to seem simple
with pride with thrift and whole-life skills
on cotton, denim and on twill
this mother of all invention
nowadays don't get a mention
to make do and mend and, with a will.

Truth! Many crafts of the past that were expected one to learn have long since faded except for a few.
