Eisenhower Postage Stamp

I remember it very well. It was before the birth of email. It was a real 'show and tell, and It rings in my heart like a bell. Mankind has always found bigger And better ways to communicate. Over time and space, such avenues Have been greatly excellerated. In the early 70's, cell phones were large and rare, but landline phones were everywhere. Those landline phones helped to communicate The love and romance that were in the air, And to tell a lover how much you cared. But for me, and much more importantly, There was a US POSTAGE STAMP in 1972, First issued in 1971. I used a few of them To send love letters to my wife to be. Although The price of the stamp was low, it was not free. There are no proofs of the phone calls or the Automobile drives from Chicago to Northern Indiana, but thanks to the 8 cent Dwight Eisenhower postage stamp, there are many Love letters to prove how romance was kept alive By the connection provided by a postal stamp. Dwight D. Eisenhower's picture was on that stamp. The pose was inspiring and a rather stately one, I might add. That stately stamp helped to shine Light upon our young lives like a lamp. That Eisenhower stamp is a most memorable And vital part of my life's story. Its been 50 plus Years now, but my wife and I still have many Of those love letters. And when we read them, It always makes us feel so much better.
