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?
