Washington Stamp

Her letter- a soft, whispered word in our ear,

a touch from a far to let us know she is near.

Each penstroke a smile, each word an embrace,

encourages with love, with mercy, with grace.

The folds on the page- the lines on her face,

remind us of one thing we'll take every place:

There is nowhere we'll go, no place on the map,

where love can't be carried by a Washington stamp.
