Dear General MacArthur,

With your permission
I offer wishes of good health,
During this heat
That burns anything. The words I slowly put together Do not flow easily, they only fill my heart

Recently, fulfilling
Your hearts desire
You removed the whaling
Moratorium.
Your gesture brings
A much needed food
To our community
And families, The words I slowly put together Do not flow easily, they only fill my heart

A million year old fossil
I send to you.
This comes from my family
And the ancient sea.
A prehistoric impression
Of the modern krill,
She feeds the noble whale,
And offers you longevity The words I slowly put together Do not flow easily, they only fill my heart

Finally, please take good care in the heat.
