Dont Angels Get Mail

Don’t Angels Get Mail?

I sent a Valentine’s Day card to a friend
Filled with get well wishes…
Hoping she was on the mend 
I sealed it with heart stickers
On the envelope flap

Got my mail today
And what did I see?
Familiar hearts stickers
On the envelope flap

I thought it was from her
 But it was not to be

DECEASED?
I cried
No not her

RETURN TO SENDER?
I didn’t know
How could that be?

UNABLE TO FORWARD?
What do you mean?
Don’t angels get mail?

3/26/18

~Liz ~1/9/18~ Gone too soon~
A horrific way to find about a death
You are never prepared to see those words
Deceased - Return to sender- Unable to forward
I received this in my mail...not knowing she was gone

Caren Krutsinger March 27, 2018 at 10:13 PM Angels do get mail, Patricia, and we send it to them in our sleep. I am saddened that this is a practice, and am glad I have not experienced it myself. I'm sure it was a feeling that cannot be expressed. Patricia Leduc March 28, 2018 at 4:29 PM She knew I collected anything angel so knows she is one of them now. Fortunately/unfortunately these life lessons have brought me to express my feelings in words that turns into poems. Glad I have that outlet. Thank you for your kind words. :))
