Three Letters - Ruthie Henshall

Georg: Dear Friend

When a day brings petty aggrivation

And my pull freyed nerves are all askew

I forget these unimportant matters

Pouring out my hopes and dreams to you

As I rest my pen and look around me

I can see the summer disapear

Oh dear friend

All at once

Auntumn’s here

Look, Autumn!

Dear friend

With November just around the corner

I’ve a feeling you may also share

Do you feel an undertone of discourse

And the sense of tension in the air

If it weren’t for your endearing letters

I’d be flying south with all the geese

By the way

Have you read

War & Peace

Look, Winter!

Dear friend

Have you set your calendar for Tuesday

When we bring this chapter to a close

When I meet my lady of the letters

Who puts tiny faces in her «O"s

In the freezing weather of December

I’ll be warmly waiting for our date

Until then count the hours

Oh, I’m late for work
