A tiny widow lives alone; in the basement of her home
Whose wrinkled hands no longer knit; or make the quilts she gave as gifts.
I tried to make it better; so I wrote a letter.

Poems and photos, daily tales; She cant write; her hands too frail.
Its a one-way conversation. Sent without an invitation!
To say wed not forget her, I kept on writing letters.

She shares them now with family; Rereads them often they tell me.
There is nothing we can get her; she enjoys receiving better.

Such a simple thing to do. Who will do the same for you?
To break the sound of silence falling; to answer when there is no calling;
Words connect us all together; walking toward the brink of never.

For my husbands mother, back East....

A tiny widow lives alone; in the basement of her home
Whose wrinkled hands no longer knit; or make the quilts she gave as gifts.
I tried to make it better; so I wrote a letter.

Poems and photos, daily tales; She cant write; her hands too frail.
Its a one-way conversation. Sent without an invitation!
To say wed not forget her, I kept on writing letters.

She shares them now with family; Rereads them often they tell me.
There is nothing we can get her; she enjoys receiving better.

Such a simple thing to do. Who will do the same for you?
To break the sound of silence falling; to answer when there is no calling;
Words connect us all together; walking toward the brink of never.

I think that this is the wish of everyone that has children. To hope that when we get older that our children love us as unconditionally as we have loved them to visit with us and send and read us letters.
Another great piece with softly written/spoken words
brilliantly penned.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
