Your Little Yokai
A Japanese folklore poem for Carl and Natalie’s treasured life together
Someone is waiting for you In all of your homes to come
Scampering around the ceilings And leaving footprints for you to ruminate
Letting you know that she will always be there The Little Yokai
She exists in mischief As the cherub-like blushing breeze
That tickles your ears And sweetly summons your smiles
For you three Are destined to be as one
The Little Yokai; Zashiki Warashi Will happily fill your hearts
With the luck they each need To breathe life into your dreams
And will teach your children’s children’s children How to make the universe their playing ground
She Along with all of us Will celebrate your special moments That will echo loudly throughout our lifetimes.
All the love my heart can bear, Your sister, Rose
