The gift of a letter
handwritten
love notes
coming through
the mail
now becoming
something
that used to be
computers
emails
smart phones
and texts
messages sent quickly
responses in a second
we have lost the art
of handwriting
sitting down to write
taking the time
to write from our hearts
sending it with care
the fun of receiving
those written words
from a friend
or a family member
handwritten beauty
remembering
the joy
of a stamped
envelope coming
our way
opening the mailbox
and seeing it there
why is it we have stopped
sending love through the mail?
giving the gift of our words
to someone who really cares
sharing our hearts
sharing our thoughts
could it be that we
might try again once more?
to restore the beauty
of
the gift of a letter
encourage someone
send one today
the gift of your letter
worth so much more
than you will know
it may truly be
the only gift that someone
might receive
