Letters

If I asked you to give me a letter,

would you give an A, or go one better?

Perhaps you would give me more than one,

or make me a word, before you were done.

Per chance you could give me a word or two

to ask a friendly ‘how do you do’?

What if your sentences could multiply

into questions asking who, what and why?

A few of those could spark conversation

and lead us to deeper contemplation

over what matters least and what the most

and if there’s any cause for us to boast.

But for now, a single letter will do

to create a bond between me and you.

So, be it an A, a B, or a C,

I care not, as long as you talk to me.
