Impactful Mail

 

Check your Mail!

Never underestimate the impact of a handwritten letter or greeting card,

The priceless anticipation of mail arriving with a kind regard,

Is more than a rushed email that one will soon delete,

A cut and paste correspondence, read, respond and repeat,

A personal touch is extended that technology can’t replace,

On fancy stationary or perfumed paper no one will erase,

Text messages replace the penmanship of old days gone by,

With strange acronyms like LMK, LOL, and also TMI,

Trite emojis replace the wax seal and feather quill,

Smiley faces in all varieties express emotions that we feel,

In the instant gratification world, we live in today,

No one is using paper, a pencil or a pen, no way!

Do we really look back at old emails and texts to reminisce?

Or do we turn to shoeboxes of old letters when family members we miss?

Never underestimate the impact of a handwritten letter or greeting card,

The priceless anticipation of mail arriving with a kind regard.
