Thank you for the note last night,
I went to bed warmly wrapped in your words,
suffused in a rosy glow of all that you promised,
warmly wrapped in the love you sent me,
sent in a note – I love you

Last night I served tea to the ladies at church
and thought I would die not getting to see you
but afterwards I found your note with a special
message for me, the love you sent me,
sent in a note – I love you

You had received my note promising to love you
always and wait for you as long as it takes, I’m so
glad that the words that I wrote reached you safely
and more than that – that you wrote me back,
sent in a note - I love you

I started today in a rosy glow, feeling desirable and
young, all because of the words that you wrote,
wrote in a note – I love you, I’m ready to face a
parish day, still wrapped in your words
sent in a note – I love you

I wear these feelings like a cloak, keeping me safe
from fear and doubt when I serve the consistory,
I fold my heart away in the cloak that you wove,
the cloak woven of words, words you sent me
sent in a note – I love you

Louise Tredoux
