Just One More Letter
Just one more letter from you
Delivered by 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 in your letters to later spell correct
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
If a letter arrived 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
My being aches, tears fall again
Please write me one more letter
Sender: Mum from Heaven…..
I miss you my sweet mum xx
