Never far away

 Never far away

 

I’ve posted off my Christmas cards,

Tho’ postage stamps on less.

Christmas cards used to be the dearest

Now it’s posting I invest.

 

But every card that’s posted

I truly feel so blessed,

The recipient that reads that card

In my life they’ve been the best.

 

They’ve played a part in my journey -

The small amount I’ve sent,

Their meaning has been special

The stamp has been well spent.

 

And as I write well-meaning words

So happy to write their name!

Another for their birthday

And next year just the same.

 

If I don’t receive one back

I understand you cannot afford

As long as you remember me

You’re still so much adored.

 

There is also modern tech

With gifs to make me smile

That travel the same distance

However many miles. 

Posted through your letter box 

Or best wishes on your phone. 

It seems like only yesterday 

How the time has flown. 

 

No matter how much time has passed

Will keep in touch at special times

I’ve been in your life

As you have been in mine.

 

The blessing in that letter box

That was posted off today

All with thoughts of you

That are never far away

 

I’ve invested in some stamps

But there is no price on friends,

Or family, or special people

That’s why this rhyme’s been penned.
