Poetry picked from page 6 Let there be hope for years yet to come. And out of the many Let there by one. One who will answer To her lonely self. One who will take her From her lonely shelf. Yes, let the sun shine again, So warm from above. To dry her many tears, And to again- Let her share love. -Billie Bagdon, Teacher, Grade Seven.
