JUNE AND OLD AGE
By SOPHIE IRENE LOEB

 Today Is great one-a wedding The youngest of my first born Has donned the wreath of Orange
 Blossoms And hope beats high. An, with what a happy smile She came to me this noon and kissed
 me. Her eyes glistening almost tearfully
 with joy And I have only tC go back To that gladsome day When I. too, looked at the world
 through golden glasses And I see myself in her, Much water has run OCT tho dam; I am old and wrinkled and gray. They step softly And withhold from mo things that
 might hurt; And have even heard young John
 say That I "had enc foot in the grave. |" Sadness and sorrow have come Yet without them the world would N not move, For each learns the lesson of life- Without pain there Is no contrast of
 pleasure.
 
 fall" And the great teacher Experience
 moves slowly. But the world Is still the same In June With its roses and love; For all the hardships and all the toll Have lost their sting With blithe mornings and moon mad
 ness, That come so surely In June And the soul of me is gladdened As 1t was years ago. For I have only to reach out to
 youth And youth comes back to mo In June. Time matters not. For the heart must be young In June!
