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. <3
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!
That’s wonderful to hear. Keep me posted. Hugs and love to you both. ❤️
Bless you, Colleen…
The honesty and curiosity of children will ease you out if your comfort every time😊

They always seem to know which questions to ask, don’t they?
Yes, they do. A they very seriously wait for an answer. This cracks me up as you can sometimes see the mental scrambling to come up with an answer in the adults.😃
They do expect us to have all the answers…
😃
A great question. I hope so.
I like to think they do…
