There are sharp curves ahead:
many danger signs on the road will
be disregarded by the little tow-head-
ed child at the wheel. There will be
bumps, and jars and jolts, and per-
haps an upset or collision, but through
it all they will be happy and content
SO long as Love leads.
For Love is a reality which is born
in the fairy region of romance. 1t is
the elimination of happiness!
Fortunate are thosee with Loves
hand at the WHEEL For so long as
Love guides, pursuit from behind,
dangers on the side and the dragons
of the future ahead VIII not avail
