L E T T E R S

What greater joy than finding letters at your very door .
It is something to look for with anticipation,yes, forever more.
In this day of electronic greetings they are a personal get together,
even though I pity the carriers,they have to be out in any weather.

In old age when friendships dwindle they are such a welcome sight,
although now they are mostly asking for money ,that ain't right !
Yet, there are some that are keeping old friendships alive,
to exchange experiences from the past one should much strive.

Handwritten ,these missives have a certain warmth and so please,
yet,unfortunately,there now is a definite dwindling of these.
Astoundingly I saw an ad for fountain pens on my television:
does anyone use them now ? As a signature, prints fulfill this mission.

Thus it is regrettable that this correspondence is a thing of the past,
everything now has to be mechanized and done ever so very fast.
To find a handwritten message in your box is a joy to behold :
there is nothing better than to find someone's character thus unfold.
