Three letters of love sealed away with time.
Endless memories within, sealed by twine.
Thoughts so secret, shared only by just two.
Words of love’s tenderness no longer new.

She placed her heart within a seal of wax
Giving all who read the truth and the facts.
Telling of feelings that were heartfelt shared
given to another who loved deep and cared.

Telling  a name of  another life  new.
A small  baby boy born of one not two.
A child taken from her for lack of age.
A soul given away with love not rage.

Pictures of a smiling face never known
within three letters unread and not shown
