Phyllis Babcock Poet Rhyme

Car Parade

Who was to know
how this year was to go
a virus came to town
closing everything down.

Your birthday came at this time
six feet apart draw the  line
so could not give you a hug
or give your balloons a tug.
 
We gave you a car parade
while at home you stayed
for your 11th birthday bash
we all gave cash

It made me sad
but I was glad
to see your big smile
if only for a little while.

Lindsay Laurie May 12, 2020 at 6:38 PM Hello Phyllis … yes, we too have had our disappointments but have learnt to live with talking to each other over the ipad. At one minute to midnight we were allowed to go fishing again last night; our son was fishing at midnight and hooked some good sized fish - stay safe Phyllis & Al - Lindsay Phyllis Babcock May 21, 2020 at 6:59 PM Hi Lindsay. Like you our province is opening up and the stores are now all open but with us having to distance from one another. Opening in phases and will open the 3rd phase in June. Stay safe all of you. love phyl

Jennifer Proxenos May 5, 2020 at 11:40 AM How cute and how sad - but it will all come to pass my friend and you will hug your whole family soon and we will all rejoice when this horrendous virus makes its exit. 'But you saw her big smile, if only for a little while' Blessings Phyllis, Jennifer. Phyllis Babcock May 7, 2020 at 12:00 PM It was our grandsons birthday and we did a drive by birthday parade. He was one happy boy but made me sad I could not hug him. love phyl
