The Letter

20 lines

She found a long-lost letter,
sent from beyond her time.
It was nestled in a hollow part
of an old apple tree, in rhyme.

She cried as she read it.
joy swept through her heart.
The love she had only heard of
now crystalized in part.

Her mother died upon her birth.
Her father was never known.
Grandmothers’ words echo truth.
An intense secret love was shown.

The letter held the answers,
asked time and time again.
Was her very existence a mistake?
Was she made from sin?

A shadow lifted from her mind,
with proof of a sincere love.
She surrenders to happiness
and sunny tomorrows from above.
