Whatever years

You dwell for ever in Aunties thoughts.

Here’s a knowing little proverb from the sunny land of Spain
And in Northland and in Southland you can hear it o’er again
Lock it up within your heart, neither lose nor lend it
Two it takes to make a quarrel, one can always end it.
Uncle Jack, Higham Ferrers 29 May 21.

That I may live a thousand years I pray,
And you, a thousand years and one more day
So I may never know you passed away.
Your loving husband, Bert. May 1950

Speak truly, and each word of thine,
Shall be a fleetful seed,
Live truly, and they life shall be
A great and noble deed.
Be content with the day as it is, look for good in everything.
Cousin Polly, Feb 26th/15

May she to whom this book belongs,
Few troubles have if any,
Her hours of sadness be they few,
Her happy moments many.
O Abbott, 5-7-36

Sunshine all the way,
Happiness each day,
Never mind a cloud or two,
They will pass, as all clouds do, so -
May this greeting bring to you
Sunshine all the way.

The rain, it raineth every day
Upon the just & unjust fellows,
But chiefly on the just, because
The unjust steal the justs’ umbrellas.

True happiness
Consists not in the
Multitude of Friends
But in their worth & choice.

Write in your album!!! What a verse???
I who can scarcely a line rehearse,
Spoil its fair pages with silly rhyme,
Consume your paper, and my time,
‘Connie’ you might as well suppose,
Warmth to proceed from Alpine snows,
As for one moment expect to see,
Genius or wit displayed by me.
Auntie Louie, Higham Ferrers. Oct 16th 1915

Do not hurry, do not worry

John Wolsey was a righteous man,
Of children 'e 'ad seven,
'E bought a little donkey cart
To drive'em all to 'eaven;
The Gorden Road was rough & bent
'E did not know it well
The donkey cart it overturned
And tipped 'em into '___'?
Cissie Covington. Feb 8/1915

The world that we’re a living in
Is mighty hard to beat,
You get a thorn with every rose,
But ain’t the roses sweet.
