the dear old home

In the dear old home they miss you. Miss the sunshine of your face, Miss your happy, careless chatter ; No one else can fill your place. They are thinking of you often, When in distant paths you roam. Don’t forget to write a lettev To the dear ones left at home.

Do you know that since you’ve left her, In your mother’s glossy hair Threads of silver intertwining, Tell of years of toil,and care? Just a bit the lines have deepened On your father’s thoughtful brow — 'Don’t forget to write —write often, For they miss you sadly now.

Write a letter to the dear ones Who on vou their hopes have stayed.

It may seem a little childish, But your letter is delayed ; Oh, they miss you from the fireside — Miss you more than words can say; So, write promptly, don’t forget it. Write a letter home to-day !
