Letters

The net is quite impersonal it gives None of the lasting touch, as with a letter. While words come fast and we may receive Candid feelings, all these never last forever. I have a box of my father's last letters, Ten of them tied with a golden ribbon. Written just a year before he died of cancer Sometimes I read them and his words live on. Old letters written by the hand of those we love, Crossed the miles in planes, our little treasures. And the hand that wrote in ink reminds to prove Their connection lasts through time, it endures.

I have one letter from my dad from before he died, I understand how it feels, to have something tangible, that they poured their thoughts into. It is like having one last piece of them. It is something that an email or text could never accomplish. Letters are a treasure. Nicely said.

Thank you Casarah Nance, for reading and leaving a comment on this poem. Yes letters provide us with "one last piece" of our loved ones and their words linger for a long time.
