Someone Cared To Write

The mail arrived early today
An envelope traveled
A very long way
Someone cared to write
and share with me
their heartfelt thoughts
and poetry.

Before I sit down to see
Words that were written for me
I'll get to my favorite chair
handling my letter with care
Then open it up carefully.

Great joy it is to receive a note
That came from a very far place
A message written tenderly
That would help to make
A smile on my face.

Someone cared to write to me
And now I'll do the same
I'll pen a letter in return
to my beloved friend
Send it out with warmth and love
And gladly sign it with my name.
