Postcards
How cool to get a postcard!
For someone took the time
To buy one, write it, stamp it
And then send it. Sometimes I’m
Away and make the effort,
But often I do not.
It’s easy to tell everyone
That somehow you forgot.
With FaceTime, Skype and Twitter,
The postcard seems so quaint.
The person who would bother, though,
Will not get one complaint.
The fact that someone thought of you
While off on a vacation
And put it into writing is
Beyond all expectation.
