My Dearest Mystery Sam

One day on a cold night drear, I got an email from a man

He was my secret admirer his name was Mystery Sam

Sam was sweet fellow, who made my life seem bright

A poem every morning, and hint every night

My life felt important and full of bliss

The second morning Sam sent a poem like this:

Yesterday is a memory inside my heart
I laughed, I cried, but I did it with you
It was a beautiful moment to share
A treasure I will take forever
and never share with another.

True his poetry was a different style than mine

But it touched my heart so deeply I replied:

I am deeply touched that you care
Wishing for another morrow to share
Yes have had plenty of good times
Filled with lots of fun new rhymes
I am grateful that we have today
I wouldn’t spend it any other way

That night I got an email from my Mystery Sam

He was someone that I knew, he showed me who I am

I am special, I am unique, I am trusting, and kind

I am beautiful and loving,  I have a cunning mind

My dearest Sam was a close man, he was family for sure

Mystery Sam was my uncle and his intentions were pure

He made me feel happy and I had fun figuring out the mysterious man

The next morning I got one last poem from my Mystery Sam:

I wish I had another day.

To sit and with you, play

But I reasoned out, 

your lingering doubt.

Was starting to tear 

on your safety there

I couldn't let it go on

without letting on

But now I am left no further way

to give compliment or say

or ever come to dare

of how much I care.

One last goodbye from the man

​behind mysterious Sam

I was happy but at the same time my tears began to fall

For it was time to say goodbye to my Sam after all

Even though I knew that I would see my uncle once again

After this Sam would be gone, and so would be our game

So as I finally replied to say one last goodbye

Rivers streamed from my eyes with bittersweet sigh:

Yes it is true we had good times and I'll surely miss

The fun we had, the games we played in total endless bliss

I thank you for no longer lingering in the dark mystique

For showing me who you really are is loving and unique

I know now when you flatter me it comes right from your heart

Your trust given, memories made is a bond that will never depart

Even though I now know the mystery that was Sam

I am glad to know someone cared and I thank you mystery man

Goodbye my Mystery Sam

You are a wonderful mystery man
