Hi Roseanne,
Thanks to my 3rd grade teacher Mrs. Foley (Armour School Chgo, IL) I do know the poem. I am not to sure about the ending since it's been quite some time that I was in the 3rd grade (over 20 yrs). However from what I remembered it went something like this:
Nancy Hanks (Anonymous author)
If Nancy Hanks, came back as a ghost seeking news of whom she loved most. She'd ask first where's my son? What's happened to Abe, what's he done? Poor little Abe,left all alone except for Tom who's a rolling stone. He was only nine the year I died. I remember still how hard he cried. Scraping along in a little shack with hardly a shirt to cover his back. A prairie of wind to blow him down, and pinching times If he came to town. You wouldn't know about my son? Did he grow tall? Did he marry? But most of all did he have fun?
That is how I remember it. Hope this helps!
