THE COMMON THINGS Bv BEATRICE SMITH True happiness cannot be bought, This lesson in nic s dook is tauoht. One cannot hope to own the earth, For all is given free at birth. Great wealth may buy a host of things, But cannot buy an angel's win ps. Nor, can it buy us love and laughter Or contentment that comes after. A hillside covered white with snow, A dying fire's after-glow, The family 'round the fireplace, A kind-faced mothers quiet Grace. These ar the things that through tne years Will mend the hearts and dry the tears. These are the bonds that ever hold Bonds that cannot be bought or sold. For one who loves the common things Has paid down on a pair of wings And happiness that can't be bought Is given free with deed and thought. The above poem written by Beatrice Smith, of Roseburg, ap peared in the September-October edition of "Reflections." POETS CORNER SIDE GLANCES DyGclbraith COM. 1M1 tV WtA BtHVlCt, IMC. T. M. KCO.
