Letter in the Mailbox

Letter in the Mailbox

It’s nice to get a “Thank you” note,

Or letter from a friend who wrote,

To find among the many bills,

Epistle from a friend; it thrills!

Before it’s opened first to find,

The stamp; is it a special kind,

A flag, or some commemorative,

Or, art in the diminutive.

Oh, next to see return address,

And, once you know begin to guess-

All types of thoughts begin to meld,

Of what’s inside and secrets held?

Perhaps an invite to event,

Or, “thank you” for a gift you sent,

Sometimes some news from friends away,

Each one will simply make your day!
