Resurfaced

finding his old letters
at the bottom of my drawer
caught me off-guard ~
it took me a minute
to catch my breath

Wow I know the feeling Line, when we sold our house I found a great deal of paperwork in one of my mothers drawers and among the papers were 6 or 7 poems to me, from my Grandfather - I had a good cry! Blessings, Jennifer.
