 A Quilter

Dwight D. Eisenhower be

A quilter in his younger days,

Helping mother, Ida, as she

Encouraged Dwight's work with her praise.

A tumbling block quilt that they made

Is still a cover on a bed.

In Ike's birthplace home it's displayed

As a future President's spread.

Many a quilt was pieced and done

In their simple, humble home by

Eisenhower mother and son,

With love and skill both did apply.

Quilting with Mom helped Ike indeed

Learn patience he would later need.
