Happy Birthday Phillip and Paul !!!
Oh my sons
with happy smiles and grubby fists
my favorite flowers
.......
You brought me
Posies, pebbles, and sticks
Even a bug couldn't make me say "Ick"!
Squished dandelions
and sticky candy
Little boys can be so dandy!

This weeks theme on Poetry Jam is flowers-

Born in the '60's my true Flower Children
Happy April Birthday to Phillip
