letters

i wrote an anonymous letter

to the girl who was suffering,

telling her to stay strong

because she's worth it.

i watched her smile,

tuck the letter in her purse,

and stand a bit taller.

i wrote an anonymous letter

to the boy who had trouble believing in himself,

telling him he was doing a great job

and that he is really talented.

i watched him take out his notebook and start drawing.

i have made two persons feel a little better.

what more could i ask for?
