A Pocket Handkerchief to Hem
I like the philosophy of this poem. To accomplish something you just have to do little by little and eventually it's done!

A Pocket Handkerchief to Hem
Poem
A pocket handkerchief to hem -
Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear!
How many stitches it will take
Before it's done, I fear.
Yet set a stitch and then a stitch,
And stitch and stitch away,
Till stitch by stitch the hem is done -
And after work is play!
Notes
Written by Christina Rossetti.
