Hidden box… #Poetry

In a box hidden from sight

My mothers love letters

Have come to light

Written in 1944

A soldier’s heart she craved

Soft word written with

Such passion

Tear stained aged paper

Belies the woman who

Stands before me

Was it this lost love that turned

her heart to stone?

    That was a very beautiful poem. Very moving. I also stopped by to thank you for reblogging my Plants post. It’s much appreciated. I’m going to stop by more often and figure this blog out. ;)
