And a Little Prayer for Their Safe Return

ue enclosed, states a letter to 2YA, are the thoughts of a little boy of six. put together by a boy of 40 into some kind of rhyme. We dedicate them to "Aunt Gwen." who does so much to make the children’s hour so enjoyable. We all love your laugh, and your voice. which comes over the air with wonderful sweetness. Grownups love the children’s hour, I can assure you, just as much as the kiddies.-With all good wishes. The Children’s Hour was nearly closing, And many a tired wee tot was dozing, But they knelt in their cots, with their heads bowed,-when, "Youll pray for the airmen," said Aunt Gwen. And each one muttered a tender thought: "God, bring the airmen safe to port, Guard.and protect those strong, brave men, And keep them safe,-and bless Aunt Gwen." And through the clouds on that early morn The airmen came safely through the storm; And we cheered, and cheered, and cheered again. "Thank God they are safe," said dear Aunt Gwen. And on the day that they fly back, Smithy and Charlie, Litch and Mae, We'll cheer them to the echo; then, We'll pray for their safe return, Aunt Gwen.
