"PRESENTS"
(by Becky Hemsley 2023)

I sent you a present last night you know

Though it didn’t address you by name

It was all of those meteors showering, dancing

And falling to earth like the rain

I wrote you a letter last week you know

But it won’t have arrived in the post

I wrote on the bright coloured curves of a rainbow

The reasons I missed you the most

I sent you a message just yesterday

But it wasn’t a message in words

For I spoke to the wind and I taught her our song

And I asked her to make sure you heard

I drew you a picture last Tuesday

But you may not have noticed it there

For I drew round the clouds with the rays of the sun

So they glowed as they hung in the air

No, you may not get gifts like you used to

Or get messages stored on your phone

But I’ll make sure I’m sending something each day

So you know that you’re never alone

And tomorrow I’ll paint something wonderful

I don’t know quite yet what it will be

But I promise you’ll know when you see it

That it’s sent just to you
