The Mommy Chronicles

While I’ve taken quite a hiatus from my blog I haven’t totally forgotten about it…For those of you who still check it from time to time, here’s a little something sweet for you to enjoy.

The following transcription was written by my grandfather, Louis Hensch, to my grandmother, Esther Luther Hensch in her autograph album before they were married.  I have a scan of the original and treasure it because the poem is in my grandfather’s handwriting and because of the sentiment behind what he wrote.  Maybe someday years from now my grandkids will be enjoying notes Cedric and I have shared with each other.  At any rate, I’m tending toward the nostalgic tonight and thought I’d share some with you.

Sanborn, Minnesota – May 27, 1927

Dearest Friend,

When over these lines your eyes are cast,
Think of the times gone and past,
Think of the friends and friendship dear,
Think of the one who wrote this here.

A place for my name in your album,
A place for my love in your heart,
A place for us both in Heaven,
Where true friends never part.

I hope you the most success that can be had.  As a friend I have appreciated your friendship.

Always,
Louie Hensch
