A KIND WORD

A Kind Word

A Silly Sonnette
By Izzy Sommers, MD


I wrote some letters to the editors
And then I wrote a hundred more, but
Never did I see responses or get feedback,
‘Til today! The email said, “well said.”
Oh joy and happiness! Of letters that
I’d sent, I never knew if they were read
Or liked or totally ignored. Today,
I feel a million bucks! Oh thank you! Thank
You Mr. David (Sir) Ignatius.
You’ve made my day, my week, my month, my year,
My life! Perhaps at one and seventy
There’s very little function for the satisfaction
That I yearn, except for just
A word or two of kindness, praise or lust.


THE END
