Kinship
Kinship
She comes from faraway,
daughter of my husband’s
good friend now gone
Although no shared blood,
family for sure
With care,
rummaging on tablets
for scanned photos
warm stories to share
Our dog stares
in her eyes
All fifty-four pounds
crawls
in her lap for a sit
only half of her fits
but her whole heart
is there
Deeply touching from another stepmom.
This was taken yesterday! Johanna came to visit, and adored our dog. It was mutual.
