Gift From The Ocean
Words to The Very Darling Dearest Nunu,
This very morning at half past the hour of eight, just in time for the birds in the back yard to gather by the bird feeder and daintily peck at the grain that the Bird Lady strews on the snowy ground so they won't be hungry on this cold March day I noticed a crow hanging around in the tall pine tree nearby the feeder. Can you imagine, Nunu, how frightening that must be for the smaller little birds like the dear little brown sparrows. Just a tap tap on my porch window high up on the third floor soon sent the crow flying away and all was safe and sound once again so early in the morning here in Minnesota; so far away from where you are, Nunu. How many stories you will tell me, Nunu, all about sailing with your mama and walking in the warm sand on the beach with all the grownups. I once found a Sea Horse washed up inside a strong wave and just as I watched the wave disappear I saw at my feet the most beautiful creature a SeaHorse, a present from the Ocean. I brought it back with me all the way back from the Island where you are now, to Minneapolis, where I am now. And I still have it. When next you visit me, I would like to give it to you, A present again and again. Thank you for your letter about the Easter Bunny card, and Nunu, it is true, I did see the Easter Bunny once, when I was still a child. You wait, Nunu, for you too will see the Easter Bunny as he quietly fills your Easter Basket with all the candy eggs and colored eggs you love. You must find the most lovely of baskets for the Rabbit to fill and leave a carrot with the green tops on, for him to nibble on as he make his rounds all over everywhere.
Love,
ggruthie
