Home Poems

"Home Poems" by Kate Louise Wheeler is a collection of late 19th-century poetry where faith, family, and simple joys blossom, deeply rooted in a sense of home and spiritual values. Written by a self-proclaimed "New Hampshire girl," the poems resonate with Christian sentiments and familial love, evoking warmth and nostalgia. In the preface, the author declares her hope that the poems will do good, particularly for Christian Endeavor, a movement for young people dedicated to serving Christ. Early poems celebrate New Hampshire's landscape while exploring universal themes of love, loss, and hope, beckoning readers to contemplate life's blessings and struggles. As we read on, sincere verses emphasize the importance of mothers, the march of time, and the lasting presence of love and faith during life's journey.
