A note of birthday parties
are banners on a cupboard.

A note of days out
are open doors in a diary.

A note of telephone numbers
are blue sirens in pockets.

A note of chores
are red cards on the fridge.

A note of receipts
are baby birds in a purse.

A note of shopping
is boring.

A note of DO NOT ENTER
is a minefield on a bedroom door.

A note of apology
is a plaster in the hand.

A note of thanks
is ice cream on a table.

In our family
a note means
we notice one another.
