IT'S TIME TO
Time to look about to see
the signs of the times and things
to be, look at the trees and ani-
mals fair and observe the lovely
fowls of the air, colors of shrubs
and flowers diat bloom are now
showing forth their brightest
hues; they are putting on new
coats for winters blast, and
some will bloom when the
snow has fallen, and shine forth
through the pure white snow, and
take on a bright new glow, some
will bow their heads and die,
having lived and bloomed in
their appointed time, are now
being cast into the ovens fire,
to return unto dust from whence
they came, and from root and
seed they will bloom in the
spring, enjoy the beauty of the
things at hand, look about in
earth and sky, watch the lovely
birds that fly, some will stay to
winter here give diem protec-
tion and tender care, save a dry
crust of bread for feed, your re-
ward will be great when you
watch them gather, chirping and
singing in dieir bright feathers.
