[Dear Ma]
Thank you for the clothes, and reminder
to send you an anniversary photo. Kids
grow so quick, don’t they? God willing
there’ll be another baby in next year’s
picture; he carries like a boy.
I still won’t be twenty by then.
He mostly worked hard on the farm
last year but we lost crops to early frost
and had to kill off good breeding stock
for want of winter feed. He seemed to
give up for a while, except for ‘shine, until
he had to take a job driving carts at the mine.
He came home late, wouldn’t spruce up before
the photographer arrived. But he’s fine, really.
