Letter to a sick friend

Letter to a sick friend

By May Kwek

My dear, dear friend

I am sorry to hear of your illness

And just as sorry I cannot come

To lighten up your day and to bring you some

Distraction from the pain

Which I know must be great

But events kept me away

And I couldn’t wait

So I thought to send a smile

In this poem

It has taken a while

But I hope you can listen

Yes listen, can you hear the wind?

The birds chirping and the life within

Can you hear the children playing with their ball?

Like we did once before

 Look out the window

Glaze at the sky

Once you are better

We can fly

And do all the things we wished to do

And then I will be back with you

Look at the sky and remember my promise

When you are better we shall do this!

Stretch out your hand to the open window

And feel the wind between your fingers

And the warm of the summer sun shinning

I bet that now you are smiling

There! You see I have send you a smile

I had to get nature to do it so it took a while

Smile! Laugh and get better!

And I will come visit sooner

Get well my friend!

I will see you soon

Wait for me!

I’ll be there soon!
