Crowned by arches
lit by lamps
Choose wisely
more than once
Gilded handles
rusted knobs
Oiled hinges
sticky jambs
Ring the bell
tap the knocker
All will answer
seek no more
Walk on through
no key required

I’m hoping this will make you smile, as it is a little joke based on something you said last week. The coloring book is brand new and I colored a page just for you, (and so did my wonderful sister).
You’ll get the real thing, along with a cup of coffee and a cookie (all my treat) when we get together for our usual writing session. You’re an amazing mom and incredible best friend. Thank you for being such a powerful and loving presence in my life.
Happy Mother’s Day from your perpetual little girl. Love you!
p.s. I still have my original Care Bear stuffed animal from 1983. And, of course, that’s the bear I colored!
