The following essay and poem were written by my mother, Ann Catherine Rogers, who taught for over 35 years in the St. Louis Public Schools. She helped her students to develop lively imaginations, and she taught them to love truth, beauty, and goodness.

The Right to Be Merry

by

Ann C. Rogers

A child should be regarded as a precious gift from God. Children view the world with wonder, and their wonder gives us a better perspective on life. At the beach a child stares enraptured at the sand dollar in his hand; we remember how a seashell seemed like a postcard from God. Exclaiming with glee, a child chases the huge bubble he has created, and we share his surge of exhilaration. We remember our own bubbles of yesteryear floating gently towards the pale sky.
