THE STRATFO RD MIRROR A TOAST Fiere's to tireless little feet Tripping blithely down the way, Dancing with a rhythm sweet In the happy fields of play! tere's to busy little hands (Gh, so often shaming ours), Building castles in the sands, Berry-stained or full of flowers! Here's to merry little hearts, Innocent and full of song; Strangers yet to all the smarts Of a world where much is wrong! Here's to little eyes that shine And a wealth of love express As they gaze in yours and mine, Filling us with happiness! Here's to those that love us most-- Little daughters, little sons; Those of whom we proudly boast-- Here's to our dear little ones! SEND IT IN If you have a bit of news, Send it in; Or a joke that will amuse, Send it in; A story that is true, An incident that's new, We want to hear from you. Send it in; Don't wait a month to do it, Send it in; Don't let 'em beat you to it, Send it in; es Something serious or a jest, Just which ever you like best, The Editor will do the rest, Send it in.
