Wow, Anita, this is a spectacular poem. With the spread of COVID and everything else going on in the world, children pick up so many things. Well done, my friend. I hope you are fully recovered and back into the swing of things. ❤

Anita sends her thanks, Colleen. She is doing well, just waiting for the date for the pacemaker to be fitted, then they say she will be fighting fit!
