I fill my cracks up with small flowers or I did until my grandson came along and he became the bigger priority but here are signs that he could be grandads little crack filler, he is now 4 and keen to help. Great poem. ps we dodged the flooding where we live in Wainuiomata Lower Hutt NZ best regards as always David in NZ

Step on a crack, break your mother's back:) A childhood saying here in the US. This is a good one, Anne. Good luck:)
