Hi Deb and Mike,
I am thrilled to see your family looking so healthy and happy--back home. I have meant to sent you this poem, but never got to it.

Donna Hyora

~ Half-Past Three ~

My friend has a yacht, a house by the sea,
But I have a boy who is half-past three.

I have no jewels, no satin gown,
But I have a boy who is butter-nut brown.

My friend has an orchid, my friend has a rose,
But I have a boy with a freckled nose.

O gull tell the waves that I have no yacht.
Wind, tell the wild forget-me-not

That I have no jewels, no shimmering gown,
No satin slippers, no pillows of down,

But I have a robin, a wind-swept hill,
A pocket of dreams, a heart to fill,

And I have a boy who is half-past three--
A little lad who looks like me.
