It reads like cicadas sound. Fixed it! Maybe

Your preparation helped! Truly anything can be!

My 4-year-old granddaughter visited Friday evening–a rare pleasure. This poem hangs on the wall above the top bunk of a pair of bunkbeds here, so grownups below cannot see it. She climbed the ladder to the top, and I read the poem to her. I’ll never know whether she truly understood, but I hope that one day these words will resonate in all the tiny lives so constricted by endless cautions, rules and grownup concerns. I hope one day all four of mine will be Bacon readers. xo

Pepper was probably going to visit her favorite friend Hotch along the property line. He is a magnificent old lion. Xoxo

I have found myself feeling weirdly affectionate towards them. I’m glad you’re enjoying them too! Xoxo
