I want to share this:
I recently came across an old book about sewing and this was included.------------------
Grandma's Prayer
I pray that, risen from the dead,
I may in glory stand --
A crown, perhaps, upon my head,
But a needle in my hand.
I've never learned to sing or play,
So let no harp be mine;
From birth unto my dying day,
Plain sewing's been my line.
Therefore, accustomed to the end
To plying useful stitches,
I'll be content if asked to mend
The little angels' breeches.
-Eugene Field

No I do not mind at all. The book is very old and I just gave the credit to the author.
