The Pen's Might
by Rachel Hoyt

All throughout the land
awkward hands sat lame.
Thank yous tossed bland -
one text, thirty names.
They'd forgotten that
the pen's mightier
than a sword or bat
and can make hearts purr.
All that you need is
nice stationery,
a penmanship whiz,
a mem'ry to query,
ink to suit your style,
a bit of spare time,
strength to write a mile,
or perhaps a rhyme?
cards and notes like mad
and ensured they're linked
to good times they've had
by jotting it down -
that thank you, that tale -
spreading love around
with each piece of mail.

Do you send thank you notes to family and friends?
Digital, snail mail, or, "It depends."?
This lesson I found says it matters how you send.
