To and from

To Gail love Steve 
No handwritten note 
Or message of love 
Just the printed one in the middle 
To and from 
A 30 second card 

To rich love heather 
No hand written note 
Just some kisses at the end
Of a long shop bought poem
That heather didn’t read and neither will rich 
Just the right message on the front 
To and from 

To Laura love Jess 
No handwritten note 
No message of love 
Just a pun on the front that suits things perfectly 
And a smiley face at the end 
To and from 

To Michael from next door 
‘Get well soon’ 
Is written under the printed message 
With some animal in a hospital bed on the front 
No kisses, no offers of help 
Just Get well soon 
To and from 

To Paul love John 
Who debated whether love or from was the right thing to put 
No hand written note 
No message of love 
Just ‘happy birthday’ printed on the inside 
30 years of friendship 
To and from 

To Sarah from number 93 
The family down the road 
No message 
Just some printed poem no one will read 
About love and pain 
With a vase of flowers on the front 
No words needed 
To and from 

To Clare, with sympathy, the office 
The same card Sarah got 
But with a few more messages 
But still a poem no one will read 
And some real flowers to match the ones on the card 
To and from x 15 

To Annie from Katie 
Some long message on the inside 
Talking about age 
But the from instead of love to let her know she still isn’t over that fight they had 
Sisters since birth 
To and from 

To Alice from Chris 
With a nice incorrectly spelt message inside 
Referring to some inside joke they have 
A message to make her smile 
One that only took a minute to write 
With a silly face at the end 
To and from 

To Sue love Larry 
No handwritten note 
No message of love 
Just a ‘happy birthday’ print on the inside 
Some kisses and a silly bear on the outside 
35 years and always the same 
To and from 

Because sometimes that’s all it takes
