Two Ways To Do a Letter

A snail mail letter From a faraway friend Or from the e-mail To be readout by a friend A letter can be cheerful Making you feel good A letter can be sad Making you cry out A letter read from a far away friend Always seems they are near

Hi Darlene, I must say that I don't write letters for the snail mail any more - emails are far quicker as long as you edit it and you know it is correct. But whatever the case, both can bring good news or sad. When I was at boarding school the last two years of my schooling one of the (It was a Convent) nuns every lunchtime used to give us our mail. I had many pen pals all over the world so I got the most mail. Your poem is fantastic - keep writing your golden poems. Hugs Jennifer.

lovely topic, Darlene. I am very well known for WRITTEN letters. I hope to never stop writing them, yet they say the post office may be yanked away from us. Coins too. I do not like the direction our world is now taking. Emails are fantastic as well. Great job.

I rarely get a letter from a friend, they mostly come around Christmas time. When I do get one you’re right it feels like they’re close to you and makes your life cheerful. Blessings my friend

Mail is always an uplifting thing whether it's snail mail or e-mail. It means your loved ones are thinking about you. Indeed it makes them seem not so far away. A good write my friend. I liked this a lot because it makes a point most of us don't often think about. God Bless, JB
