Featured Poem







Co-operation



Poet: J. Mason Knox







It ain't the guns nor amament,



Nor funds that they can pay,



But the close co-operation,



That makes them win the day.







It ain't the individual,



Nor the army as a whole,



But the everlasting teamwork



of every bloomin' soul.

These Joys are Mine

Poet: Garnett Ann Schultz

The joy of a rose with its
sweet perfume
On a lazy summer day.

The blue of the sky as the dawn
steals through
To welcome a bright new day.

A little child with a
laughing heart . . .
A hope and a peace supreme.

A hilltop fair with its
whispering wind
And a valley nestled between.

A friendly smile and a
handclasp warm
A gladness to call my own.

A fireside warm and a
happy thought
Whenever I’m alone.

A quiet joy that can fill
my mind
Each night at the long day’s end.

A thrill complete and a
rich content
Because I have been a friend.

These joys are mine as I walk
life’s road
Wherever the journey might lead.

These are the hope and the
Faith I know,
All that my heart can need.

The richest treasures,
the brightest dreams
To last throughout all time

My heart holds a smile and
my soul is content.
I’m rich, for these joys are mine!
