Meet Dwight the Poet, My Beloved Grandfather
My grandfather, Dwight Percy Farnworth, was a man of many trades and talents. One thing I remember fondly about him was his poetry. He memorized poems – so many poems. As his granddaughter, I recall him reciting poems to me to correct me, teach me, and even to answer my questions. It seems he knew a poem for each possible life situation and emotion. When we spent the night at his house, he would send us off to sleep by reciting a few soothing poems to us, and wake us with a silly poem or two. ~shared by @finlaymelissa
