1941

Back in the twenties with these girls and boys;
Mother and me and their Christmas Tree toys.
No Santa Clause philosophy, this business of ours;
Of molding women and men out of girls and boys.

This year in June Pa said to Ma;
"I think we're going to have a new daughter-in-law.
Our first gift from heaven has become a man;
And now Rebecca has joined the clan.
