Unopened

The missive came, posted from my home town. Detached, I laid it aside for awhile. A week passed, I unearthed the envelope. She will arrive on the train today! Mom.

Thanks for focusing on this rather unused form (most forms are just that). Appreciate the placement very much. Wishing you a healthy, happy fall.
