The letter you didn't write dims the light
for a lonely friend.
The phone call you didn't make is a
soundless void for someone who loves you.
The flowers you didn't send are immortal,
but death came to the woman who never
received them.
For the crime of thoughtlessness, remorse
seems a mild penalty.
I didn't write the letter. I didn't make the
phone call. I didn't send the flowers. The
friend is lonely still. The loved one is far
away. My flowers mark a grave.
Perhaps all this would not be so poignant
except for-a letter which came to me today.
I had managed to send a brief note to a girl
in a hospital. It was a mere acknowledg
ment of her misfortune, written in the time
it would take me to change my nail polish.
But this is what she wrote to me:
"Your letter came on my very lowest day.
It's surprising what a kind word from an
other person can do for one's morale. You
go along from day to day thinking that
sometimes life isn't very rewarding, and
then someone lets you know that you are
appreciated. I think we all need that once
in a while."
I think I needed her letter more than she
needed mine. I needed to be reminded that
I am well and that my life is filled with
happiness and contentment and love and,
often, joy. I needed to be reminded that,
in these riches of my heart, there is ample
room for the lonely and the ill and the til ed.
Only by remembering that are my riches
truly mine.
The letter from the girl in the hospital
had one last paragraph. I hope I never for
get it.
"God put us on earth to love and care
for one another. How wonderful it would
be if only everyone could realize that life
is so terribly short and that we could gain
so much by helping each other."
