La Junta tribune., 1911-02-04

They're things that We wish them
TO be.
And II there Is sadness or sorrow.
Let's dream Till We charm them
away.
Let's learn from the children and Dor.
A saying from chiidhood-"Lets
play"
Let's play that the worlds full OF
beauty.
Let's play there are roses in bloom;
Let's play there is pleasure In duty
And light where We thought there
was gloom;
Let's play that this heart with It's
sorrow
Is bidden be joyous and glad;
Let's play that we'll find on tomor-
The Joys that We never have had.
Let's play We have done with repin-
ing:
IssR pay NnaN ouI 'ohhHae7 az "''
Let's play that the sunlight is shin
ing
To gid the green slope of the hill;
Let's play there are birds blithely
flinging
Their songs OF delight TO the air.
Let's play that the worlds full of
singing.
Let's play there is love everywhere.
-. W. Foley.
