Our daddy seems taller than anyone else

in all of Greenville.

More handsome, too --

His square jaw and light brown eyes

so different from our own

narrow-faced, dark-eyed selves. Still,

his hand is warm and strong around my own

as I skip beside him,

the wind blowing up around us. He says,

Y'all are Gunnar's children.

Just keep remembering that.
