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-notThat 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.

Hi Deb and Mike,

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.
