HOME & FAMILY

Papa's favorite customers were the minor nobility and some princes. There was a time when Germany was home to dozens of kings, princes, barons.

POET'S CORNER

Worry
by Ruth Lewis

If there's no money
If there's no strength
Not to worry.
It's all from Him.
The One Above sends
What we need.

If people shout
Or give us stares.
Who cares?
It's all from Him.
The One Above sends
What we need.

But if one tiny drop of pride
Will seep into our heart, inside--
All's lost.
Then we must scream and cry and shout
until it's out.
