I’m sending my love post-haste to heaven, <br />sealed up in a package for you. <br />It’s wending its way, with speed, no delay, <br />I cast it, and away it flew. <br /> <br />I am hoping that you will receive it, <br />for I really want you to know, <br />Though you are not here, you’re everything dear, <br />I’m still missing your presence so. <br /> <br />Please accept this parcel that I’m sending. <br />Inside lies devotion profound. <br />Sorry if you find, I’m not there in kind, <br />I’m down here and sadly earthbound. <br /> <br />But I treasure you every moment, <br />And if only wishes weren’t dreams. <br />I’d crave your return, for that I so yearn, <br />carried back on sparkling sunbeams. <br /> <br /> <br />© Ernestine Northover<br /><br />Ernestine Northover<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/sadly-earthbound/
