The Letter

Oh how can one piece of paper bring so much joy?

When at first I woke

No thoughts were about

But by chance

When I looked under

Underneath the bed

I saw something
Rectangular and white.

 

First I thought nothing of it

Till I noticed the writing

It was in his fashion

That messy ink style

 

Quickly I closed the door

Gripping it tight

In the light of afternoon

My finger I used

To open it ever so slowly

 

It was folded nearly four times

So without hesistation

I unfolded the paper

And soon my eyes roamed

There was my name

It was in his writing.

 

Oh how I just stood there

Mouth wide open

As I stared ever so hard

At that simple seven letter word

 

But soon I became unfroze

And began to read

My eyes took in every inch

Of that blue ink

 

Just a few lines it was

But that didn't matter

The words sank in fast

And I found a smile

 

Never had I thought

That a letter

One piece of paper

With a blue ink

Would bring so much joy

 

 

The letter

His letter....

Reiterrating what the other two people said; it's amazing how something so simple can bring so much happiness. I could agree with what you're saying. This was good.

It's so sweet .

Your joy for receiving a simple letter grows with each line, and the ending is very appropriate.
