Dear Katherine Grace,
Hello from Albania. I decided to dedicate this puppy and a poem to you. As my only niece I hope you know how important you are to me and since I cannot tell you in person, I am telling you this way. Please let me know what this little beast is to be called. You make us all very proud. Sincerely,
Uncle Joshua
Oh, honey-haired lady
I might have said
One thousand years ago
Of course you do not know your place
It melted with the snow
For truly there were times
It seems
An angel you would make
Pressed plastic mold
In miniature
Atop white frosted cake
A running out with cocoa cream
Placed from a baker’s bag
A swirling red
A border round
An endless game of tag
Your legs tread heavy
Stuck to the knees
A going here to there
You found your place
Vanilla lace
Ground sweet as apple-pear
I love you and I miss you all so very much.
