Please Just One More Letter

Just one more letter from you Delivered from 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 for spelling check 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 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 about you My being aches, tears fall again Please write me one more letter Sender: Mum from Heaven….. I miss you my sweet mum x

Heart-wrenching, Deb. Every word straight from your heart to heaven. Truly beautiful. So touching. Hope and Heaven, Gershon

Nothing is ever so moving as a letter from mom when you are far away. Deb, your poem is both poignant and sad, but exceptionally well-written.
