Read Your Letters Written by Wendy Parr Read your letters again today The ones I tucked away in vain The last time I saw you walk away The first speaks of wishes and hints A boyish desire for a first kiss Inviting me to the summer dance in May The one in the green envelope Tells me I'm the one you hope To have and hold till we grow old Pray our child wears my smile Promises of a wedding day The letter with heather pressed inside Spring winds still remind Sweet days spent side by side Youth made us forget the tide Hand in hand full of pride Thinking no end to this ride Read your letters again today Pulled the ribbon I tied to stay The last time I saw you walk away Read your letters again today Just to hear all you had to say Before I saw you walk away The pages scented in your cologne How I love to hold them close Tears smear the ink upon the page Miss you love With your fountain pen Wishing you could write me again Maybe my heart would mend Miss you love With your tussled red Wishing you could write me again Maybe I’ll mend Read your letters over and over amen Starting with the first until they end Then I began again
