May I back up a bit
and tell you
it makes me smile
when I’ve had a long day
to come home and find
your name among my mail

Not a big deal
in the course of these things
but enough
I think
to mention

I do appreciate your attention

You offer good fuzzies for the warm ones received. Good plan! Nice poem.

In the big scheme of things, it is knowing we have friends that can make us smile and  show us that they care.

This was so sweet because it mattered enough for the person to leave their name in your mailbox and that you cared enough to tell them so.

Be careful with that snail mail these days, best to stick to email. Are you ready for the spam after this post????
Just kidding.

I think I know this feeling...yes, I do know this feeling. You sure know how to make a girl smile first thing in the morning!  

If she who dies with the most toys wins, then can I have some toy boys please?

Doesn't it feel great to know someone cares about us? I am glad you decided to tell her. Absolutely wonderful poem that each of us can relate to. I love it.  

Love I leave with you whether it is in your life now or yet the essense of your dreams.

warm and fuzzy blanket you write Duncan.
Well done!

*SMILE* Very nice. It is the little things that makes us feel loved more than anything. Never let that go. A wonderfully simple poem filled with meaning. Great piece.

Know why I like reading your poetry?  It speaks in everyday language without being flowery but still....has that underlying tone of poetics that makes it stay with you.
Enjoyed.

Oh....I know the feeling certainly and you have expressed it so well...

your name in my email
and I'm waiting to hear your tale
a simple greeting
a wish
A warm smile
coming to me through the miles....

Thank you
