my baby loves me

My baby loves me

He sent me a letter
(a card actually)
and a box filled 
with
every
little thing
I said in jest
that I needed from
Santa

He sent me a box
filled with my 
wishes
spoken in a humorous
rush
books and a hat
and bookmarks
and poetry
and a journal....

But...tucked
in that brown box
was a miracle?
a mirage?
a mistake?
my unspoken wish

a word
Unspoken by my baby
but spoken by me
only once
in the middle of the night

written in a card
not wished by me
but written
reality
in black ink
by a man who doesn't use
words
lightly

My baby loves me
and that's all i needed to know.
