I read the poem on a piece of ceramic shaped as a book with gold letters. It was in my neighbors house 53 years ago. My neighbor was a librarian. Oddly enough, a friend gave me a similiar shaped ceramic piece for my birthday.
I tried to read the bio on Mr. Ross but was unable to get the link.

poem

Since I was a little girl we had this poem framed and hanging on the wall. It had been embroidered by my grandmother. It now hangs at my nieces home and another has been found by my nephew and hangs in his house. I just told them of the author's name. I'm glad I now know the rest of the poem.

My mother

All my life my mother had the portion of this poem stating "let me be a friend to man" framed hanging by her front door of every house she lived in. When she died at 80 years of age I buried it with her. she truly was a friend to man.
