Text Alignment

I have been attempting to align the text so it is left justified but in the VERTICAL middle of the box.
Here is my code.

  - type: vertical-stack
    cards:
      - type: "markdown"
        style: |
          ha-card {
          border-radius: 15px;
          background: rgba(255,255,240,0.9);
          background: #fff5bc;
          }
        content: |
          <img src="/local/mail_and_packages/mail.jpg" height="24" ></a>&nbsp;&nbsp;<font size="+1">{% if is_state('sensor.mail_usps_mail', '') %} No USPS Mail Today {% else %}Todays USPS Mail includes {{ states.sensor.mail_usps_mail.state}} piece(s) of Mail{% endif %}</font>

I would like the Line of text to go up a few pixels to align with the graphic.
Is this possible?
Thanks
