A letter came today –
an old-fashioned,
hand addressed,
post delivered,
greeting.
It’s the second
in two weeks –
simple messages
of encouragement,
heartfelt.
It’s from the same
angel that everyday
texts me a message –
a positive missive,
uplifting.
A letter came today,
and I felt ten years old,
special, remembered –
humbled by a simple act,
blessed.
A friend came by today,
had a rare day off –
thought of me –
offered her services,
selflessly.
Her confidence buoying,
we ventured out – pedi’s
then lunch – her quiet
offer of an elbow,
reassuring.
We talked about life –
grandchildren, husbands,
the state of the world,
and I felt normal,
alive.
A friend came by today –
and I was a kid again,
arm-in-arm with her bestie,
spontaneous and free,
cherished.
