The Letter

Staring at a blank page,

Wondering what to write,

Searching through my recent

Recollections of the past.

Looking for the right words

That will cleverly convey

The tender meaning of my message.

It comes to me at last.

 

The words begin to flow out

Like a river on the page.

My pencil point grows wider

As the pages start to crowd

From margin left to margin right

Continuing unchecked

With text that Mr.  Pulitzer

Would surely have been proud.

 

With all the items of my news

Assembled one by one,

And carefully placed upon the page

My masterpiece is done.

And in closing my epistle,

This update of what's new,

My loving gift of happiness

Is sealed and sent to you.
