Birthday poem    
The joy in life's urns,
      Old father time churns,
            Bubbles over when
                  Birthdays come round;
                        So here we to-day
                              Glad greetings convey,
                                    That life's happy years
                                          May abound.

To dear Wife, and Mother,     January 25th 1924,     Fowchow.
