In front of their front door
There's a windowsill and flower box ,
To add to my amazement
Little chalk drawings upon the pavement
Aww their shorts ,socks ,and sandals
Three happy little boys
Even the dog Jill is posing
And putting out her paws.
How happy photo's make you
When you look into the past
It brings it all back ------
