meadow rabbit

For Easter, I gave each of my grandchildren a little gift. It was easy to find a little something for the little grandsons. My granddaughter is six weeks old and at this point in her young life, she doesn't need a toy. It was a bit of a dilemma until I was putting some towels in the linen closet and saw the washcloths I bought for the grandkids to use when they visited. These washcloths are from Japan and are so soft - perfect for washing a newborn's skin. I found one with a rabbit on it. How apropos for Easter!

Each of these washcloths comes with a poem. What a thoughtful touch...but the poem is in Japanese. The store owner recommended the Google Translate app and voila, the sweet poem showed up in English. 





"Meadow Rabbit"

Does that flower-filled meadow still

exist today?


Jumping, jumping


A beautiful meadow with a rabbit hopping

with its long ears flopping.


I want to make a flower crown with you again.

  2. How beautiful and such a nice gift for such a young member of the family. That's a nice little poem too.
