A Christmas Card

A Christmas Card

Letters unsent, 
to people…
that wish they had received them. 
Maybe not write away, 
or all at once, 
but eventually. 

Harsh words spoken, 
throughout the year, 
people with a past…
they can not leave. 
Maybe something;
they are dragging behind. 
Turn and check. 

A piece of paper, 
a range of size(s), 
to make you laugh
or cry 
or say; “Hi!”

The postman still has a job, 
he goes all around, 
passing out bills,
and ads, 
and spam,
and junk mail. 
Yet every now,
and then, 
a card in the bin, 
to someone,
it makes, 
a difference to. 

A pleasure to deliver, 
a greater one to receive. 
A thoughtful note, 
a kind expression, 
of a love…

tender and lee.    
(lee… the safe side of a stone)
