A Christmas Card Letters unsent, to people… that wish they had received them. Maybe not write away, or all at once, but eventually. Harsh words spoken, throughout the year, people with a past… they can not leave. Maybe something; they are dragging behind. Turn and check. A piece of paper, a range of size(s), to make you laugh or cry or say; “Hi!” The postman still has a job, he goes all around, passing out bills, and ads, and spam, and junk mail. Yet every now, and then, a card in the bin, to someone, it makes, a difference to. A pleasure to deliver, a greater one to receive. A thoughtful note, a kind expression, of a love… tender and lee. (lee… the safe side of a stone)

A card can do so much, it is amazing that I have forgotten how to write one! I have to get back to that! Thank you for a beautiful reminder, Ann.
