This is a poem that I just read today. It is called The Letter, and was written by A. Grant. I couldn’t find anything online about this Mr. Grant, not even his first name. If any of you know who it is, or have anything more by him, could you post it in the comments?
Dear Friend,
How are you? I just had to send a note to tel you how much I care about you.
I saw you yesterday as you were talking with your friends. I waited all day hoping you would want to talk with me too. I have you a sunset to close your day and a cool breeze to rest you – and I waited. You never came. It hurt me – but I still love you because I am your friend.
I saw you sleeping last night and longed to touch your brow so I spooled moonlight upon your face. Again I waited, wanting to rush down so we could talk. I have so many gifts for you! You awoke and rushed off to work. My tears were in the rain.
If you would on listen to me! I love you! I try to tell you in the bile skied and in the quiet green grass. I whisper it in leaves on the trees and breathe it in colors of flowers, shout it to you in the mountain streams, give the birds love songs to sing. I clothe you with warm sunshine and perfume the air with nature scents. My love for you is deeper than the ocean, and bigger than the biggest need in your heart! Ask me! Talk with me! Please don’t forget me. I have so much to share with you!
I won’t hassle you any further. It is YOUR decision. I have chosen you and I will wait – I love you.
Your Friend,
JESUS
