Letter to the world
E.S. Conway 1985 (United Kingdom)
Hello world, only me,
just thought I'd let you know,
The strife you've sent is almost clear,
Though progress has been slow.
The workload has been tough,
You've put me to the test,
But now I ask, nay I beg,
May I have a rest?
I see my work is almost done,
Unless you've more to give?
So I ask you once again,
May I start to live?
I've dreamt a dream of peace you see
Of which I'm drawing near.
A slate wiped clean, a whole new me,
A future without fear.
A year from now, not so far,
I see myself a new,
Me, myself, I am complete,
With thanks, in part, to you.
So many thanks, and kind regards,
Sorry I took the long way,
A letter from you're loyal girl.
Emily Samantha Conway.
