Letter Writing

To write a letter from the heart,

to a dear friend whilst apart,

a gesture ever-kind and true,

and oh so lovely through and through.

Like sunbeams in the break of day,

or a summer afternoon,

like teatime 'fore the sun goes down,

and petals lit by m0on.

Like reading books by candlelight,

and willow's by the blue,

all these things I want to share,

in what I've sent to you.

But the parcel's own content,

differs quite from these:

A mystery gift, a tin of mints

and lotion from Burt’s Bees.

A fashion cut-out, stickers too,

A pink snake, a ring for Sue,

a letter etched in written art,

here’s your gift from my heart!
