I never post my reply to a personal e-mail over the list
because I would never want to embarrass anyone. However; I
received a wonderful letter this weekend with an opening sentence that I
would love to address to everyone on the list as I'm sure many of you
might someday feel the same way. The letter starts out, " I
doubt seriously whether my letter to you will amount to anything"
A humble soul writing a letter and feeling unimportant and
inconsiderable in the huge world of [company]. Who am I that
anyone should feel that way when writing to me? I myself am a tiny
fish in the sea called [company]. We have such wonderful
recognition for high achievers that it is easy to feel like that.
Yet what would be farther from the truth than that? WE ALL are
equally important!
I might never get a letter from Diane B., yet you took the
time. To the lady that sent the letter, I dedicate this post to you and
call it, "One Letter, One Light"
One letter!
Words not spoken.
Thoughts and wishes produced by mind and
hand working together.
Trying to express the deep feelings of your
heart.
Yet, it is just one letter.
One letter among the millions sent each
day.
Sent with hope that it will convey your
thoughts.
To be received with the love it was written
for.
To bring joy and peace.
Yet, it is just one letter!
Was it worth your time?
Minutes of your life sacrifice to share a
thought.
Will it reach out and touch the soul of a
friend?
Or will it go unnoticed?
One letter, sent, no chance to change your
mind.
Yet, it is just one letter!
One letter, One light!
One letter received as one
light!
One light in a world dark
and cold.
A light that pierces the
darkness filling every void.
The warmth spreads as fast
as the glow.
Reaching into the smallest
of cracks to destroy the grip of darkness.
Kind words with the energy
of a lit candle.
Energy that travels into
infinity never to end.
Yet, it is just one letter.
One letter filled with
light.
Illuminating a life and the
world around it.
A brilliant gift given in
love.
Oh the power of one kind
letter!
One letter, One light!
One letter have I!
A gift, one of a kind, sent
to me in love.
Oh the joy of such a rare
gift from a humble soul.
Written from the heart.
Now I have another day void
of darkness,
I have one letter, one
light!
Is there someone you can write to
today and spread a little light to? Hank
