Christmas Cards

Christmas cards spill through letterbox Postman's feet crunching on snow As he walks away sorting through his bag. I fumble through cards for your handwriting Seeking the most important card of all. Finding your card, and feeling Christmas joy Senses reeling like child with Santa's visit. Opening envelope, pulling out the card There is it, signed by you, "with all my love." Your words most precious gift, amazing words. Knowing you never use the word ‘love' except on cards Greeting cards for birthday and Christmas I keep them all, each one a declaration of your love Words keeping heart beating, life content and joyous.
