ANNE SMITH Lenox, Illinois A DREAM OF MINE I want to tell you a dream of mine It's all of a little girl. She's what every mother's wish would be. And looks a lot like my lover And a little bit like me. Her name could be Mary, Janet, Joyce or even Jeanette.

BERTHA BENSION Orlando, Florida TRUE STORY Gray Hair is- a crown of glory. And every gray hair tells it's own story. BONNIE LINN A LOVELY GARDEN There was a lovely garden with i the flowers all in bloom. The air about was heavy with I the scent of sweet perfume. Then, all the wintry winds appeared on every side, i And would not leave until each flower had drooped its head and died.

But, happy truth! each flower contained seed for another year. Which will in its due season bring forth even greater cheer. CLARA FENNEMA CIGAR STORE Down in the cigar store Where the lights burn low, And the shadows hug the corners In the somber A Miss behind the counter Wears a smile to welcome you; It exalts her dim surroundings As a smile alone can do. And they who quickly come and go Rejoice that they have seen Within that sordid atmosphere The spirit of a Queen. For it takes a Queenly presence To put heart into the throng, And to penetrate the shadows With the eloquence of song.

Down in the cigar store. Amid surrounding gloom, There's a little glint of Heaven, And a rose in bloom. ARTHUR MILTON POPE BLESSINGS I It doesn't have to be a special day for me To know I have the nicest home and family But being human sometimes fall alone the uay, But v. the grace of Qod our love grows day by day. ROSEMARY BORIS A MARINE He's as brave as a lion As strong as an ox.

As fearless as a tiger As smart as a fox. As cute as a teddy bear. As gentle as a dove. As wise as a hoot on I hen it comes to love. But any talk nf marriage- Fills him with loathing.

He's strictly a wolf In Uncle Sam's clothing.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart. NEW ADJUSTMENTS Continuous new adjustments We meet from day to day. And we find a need for courage In change hich comes our way.
