Thank You for Your Letters, Cards, and Calls

December 18, 2019

Dear Subscriber:

Each week we examine a theme from a variety of points of view. The theme for this week is Saying Thank You.

I welcome comments on my poems at http://nicholasgordon.blogspot.com .

A thank-you poem for get-well letters, cards, and calls:

Thank you for your letters, cards, and calls,

Heartfelt prayers, and thoughts while I was ill,

A wind that bears us on when courage stalls,

Needed to sustain a weakened will.

Kindness is a balm that works on wounds

Yet unhealed by reasoning alone.

Our suffering abated, life resumes,

Undergirt by strength more than our own.
