DREAMS OF
OPEN SPACES

OPEN SPACES
Dear Miss Grey, Yes, l. too have pet dream, one
that would be beautiful it ever realized
dream of little home in the mountains surrounded by
lofty snowelad peaks green fields and fowerstrewn val
leys below.
loyal and loving wife caring for my kingdom on earth
in the good, od-fashoned way watching over our two
healthy, happy Riddles who could grow to man and woman
hood in Gods great outdoors.
Such home / have always longed for but never had
where when reach the declining years of fe could rest
in peace and happiness
That is my wonderful secret dream
A LONESOME MAN.
THE second prize awarded TO the young lady who
wrote the first pet dream" Her letter follows:
4 DREAM HOME THAT
WOULD BRING PEACE
Dear Miss Grey have been sitting here in the twi-
light-deaming- And it Just occurred to me to write
YOU my dream and to suggest that it would be very inter
etng should you ask your readers to send in their pet
dreams for to read and appreciate
Who hasn't at one time another dreamed? Deep in
the secret hearts of us, often hidden from all the world
lie the dreams To it's dream of wealth and fame
to some dream of love- but whatever it may be- it's just
that reaching for the stars that makes life worth living
DREAM HOUSE
Is HER DREAM
There is one dream l have loved so loug-If ever |
should lose it. would feel tho little part of me had
died.
It's all about a little house Of adobe set well back from
the road painted apricot with blue windows high dobe
wall, with green arched gate And flowers! Flowers
everywhere. Rotng the house the wall the garden
bazngy triumphant in their shouting glory of color
masses Of scarlet, of green, purple gold
would live there with my love with heart so gay who
would tell fairy tales all the long day, and whisper OF
love under the stars at night And If ever unhappneSs
to US would always have the gaiey and the fairy
tales and the love to help meet life without mehlng
with laugh lips And the song IN our hearts would
overcome the tears.
What has the world to offer that is better than this?
Loving children loye-The mad world cries Absurd!
But it very sweet to bringing with II peace and
contentmen with the little things And the little things
think are very close to God Himself
