Haiku 99

children in costumes excitement in the cold air trick or treat night smiles laughter heard on the street children hurry door to door footsteps in fresh snow

thanks Judy. We lost mom on Christmas day and buried her on the 6th. A hard time but she was of strong faith and left us each a letter and poem to ease our hearts. Thanks for your comment. love phyl

Oh, I love picturing this - we didn't get any trick or treaters (we never do in our street) but I can share the fun with this. Hope you're feeling & seeing better by now, my friend x

Thanks my friend. It is hard to look at a screen for to long. The first eye is not as good as the second but it is only recent so maybe expecting to much. Cannot get an eye check for 2 months after surgery so that is Jan. New eyes for the new year. Hope all is well your way. love phyl
