April 30, 1981
When I came to pick you
up
your teacher told me
how you found a frog
in your art smock.
He had been missing all week
and
so had you-
It was your first day back
after an illness…
I will never forget your laughter
as Miss Emily described
how you found that funny little frog…
I hope my precious little daughter
that you will always find life
so
enchanting….
Happy 31st Birthday Samantha
