The trees await the coming spring.
When in their foliage tuneful birds may
sing:
The flowers wait IN patience under snow
Till warmer winds and rain shall make
them grow.
You sow the seed-in patience wait the
yield.
At harvest time you gather from the
field
So do your task. and then IN patience
bide.
You cannot hurry time or wind or tide.

dawn of many winters will rest upon our

for more patience than caring for the
young and old. If the young get on
your nerves. get rid OF nerves. and LET
the boys and girls enjoy life. If the old
are exacting and wearing. do not scheme
to get rid of them, but just remember
that the fountain OF perpetual youth is
yet to be discovered. If you are tired OF

other self" Go out into the sunshine.
