Deb M Poet Rhyme

-Just One More Letter

Just one more letter from you
Delivered by an angel to my door
To see that familiar handwriting 
Read your precious words once more

You so loved writing letters 
On small paper you did pen
Letters full of who you were
I long to receive again

Never a confident speller
Blank spaces left in your letters to later spell correct
Though you always forgot to write them in
Left for me to detect!

It’s been so many years now
You would have so much to share
All about your cosy home in heaven
And the friends you’ve made up there

If a letter arrived I would make myself a latte
In my beautiful garden I would sit
Savour every word you wrote
Keep your letter close… and never let go of it!

As I write this poem 
My being aches, tears fall again
Please write me one more letter
Sender:  Mum from Heaven…..

I miss you my sweet mum xx

Shirley Hawkins October 5, 2023 at 8:09 PM Another touching tribute to your lovely Mum. She would be so proud of you, Deb. You write to her in your poetry, and I am sure she knows this as she inspires you to write about shared memories. A gift of love is the best gift of all. XX
