| Dear Children:
| This little verse was clipped and
sent to me by one of the cousins,
and it is a mighty good thing to re-
| member, so [ am quoting it for you.
1--WE live, Qost of us, in belief
That if we were possessed of
wings
Wed fly away from toll and grief,
| And all that work and worry
brings;
But If we were and if we flew
To those far feds. no doubt we'd
find
More worry than we ever knew,
More trouble than we left be-
hind"
Lovingly,
AUNT JULIA.
