To the person that has and shared the story of Jerusha a heartfelt thank you. I too have been looking for a copy of the poem for more years than I care to count. How ironic that a the grocery store yesterday a lovely small duck got my attention. Had to have her and brought her home. Of course, her name has become Jerusha. Asked her at that time " do you think I'll ever find a copy of your story little girl"? Within a couple hours I did. Once again, thank you so much.
