love this poem from one of my scrapbooking magazines

Walk along side me daddy
and hold my little hand.
I have so many things to learn
that I don't yet understand

Teach me things to keep me safe
from dangers every day.
Show me how to do my best
at home, at school, at play.

Every child needs a gentle hand
to guide them as they grow
So walk along side me daddy
We have a long way to go.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Forever begins today

I had maybe 3/4 of them. I never would have figured out the boiling water.

Over here it boils @ 212 ° (F).

Thanks for comment on granny.

Hi Jacqui, I've got one of those quizzes somewhere I seem to think it was easier? I'll have to dig it out and check.

Hi Jacqui ~~ I wasn't rapt in the quizz
but loved the poem and have copied it.
Take care, Merle.
