Hi, Verdoodle.

Dear Vera
Will they take you to the park on this fine day?
Will you hide behind a tree and giggle?
Will you find a rock and hold it out for Mom to take,
or just give everyone a smile sweeter’n cake?
Today’s another day you may not remember:
the fresh fall air, the twigs in your hair,
or thoughts from your Pops which are following you there.
