New Glasses

At last the blackboard I can clearly see Then whisperes of "four eyes" come to me My heartfelt joy is turned to tears I still remember, after all these years

Work on line 2 Barb I think you mean the kids were wishpering about you but the way you have it now is unclear, 4 eyes appears the subject & whisper the verb? or that you are describing a type of whisper instead of the whisperers? HUGS Light & Love
