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

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
