Wonderful poem Toni. So enjoy hearing it again and seeing it
on the page. Beautiful and inspiring.
<div class="">That same year you brought some tulips to my
house and I wrote a playful little tulip poem to you.</div>
<div class="">I think I will read it on Tuesday if it is
okay. I love poets answering each other on same theme.</div>
<div class="">Mary also has a tulip poem she sent me. Maybe
she’ll read it also.</div>
