A poem for his birthday...
Love That Boy by Walter Dean Myers
Love that boy,
like a rabbit loves to run
I said I love that boy
like a rabbit loves to run
Love to call him in the morning
love to call him
"Hey there, son!"
He walk like his Grandpa,
Grins like his Uncle Ben.
I said he walk like his Grandpa,
And grins like his Uncle Ben.
Grins when he’s happy,
When he sad, he grins again.
His mama like to hold him,
Like to feed him cherry pie.
I said his mama like to hold him.
Like to feed him that cherry pie.
She can have him now,
I’ll get him by and by
He got long roads to walk down
Before the setting sun.
I said he got a long, long road to walk down
Before the setting sun.
He’ll be a long stride walker,
And a good man before he done.
I came to this poem after reading "Love That Dog" by Sharon Creech. A fantastic and unbelievable poignant book (poem) for kids, and a superb introduction to poetry.
River through the years....

A very Happy Birthday River!
Time really does fly by, and now you will feel really depressed as you are starting to sound like your Mother!! We are turning in to our parents and there is nothing we can do about it - he! he!
Hope you all had a wonderful day.
Lots of love
W D and the "KMC"
