A Letter
A letter from a friend
is like a soothing cup of tea
You are to consume it ceremoniously
letting the aroma soak in.
A letter from a friend
is like sunshine.
It wraps you in its glorious warmth,
yet exposes the dust that may have accumulated
in the darker corners of your life.
A letter from a friend
is like a bugle call in a battle.
It rings clear
sounding its promise
of reinforcements
coming near.
