Here and there on branches bare,
A cocoon earthward swings,
Waiting, a month or two, to be a zoo,
Of six-legged flying things.
Earth is so pleased to end the freeze,
It’s bursting up with joy.
And down the street, with peddling feet,
Rides a six-year boy. [1] -eab, 4/1971

Very cute, Daddy. I got to read the poem about me yesterday, but didn’t feel well enough to comment, and now I cannot pull it up. It was cute.
Love you and Moma tons.
