Lost in Time: What This Old Red Postbox Has Seen Over the Years!

A World’s Memory in Red: The Postbox That Never Sleeps

By PRABAL TR PROPublished 10 months ago 2 min read

📮 The Red Postbox Speaks: A Timeless Guardian of Letters 📮

🔴📜 The Silent Witness Through the Years🔴

I stand here, proud and bold,

A sentinel of tales, both new and old.

Bathed in 🔴 red, a steadfast sight,

Through bustling streets from 🌞 dawn to 🌙 night.

-

Upon my chest, letters fall,

Whispered hopes, confessions, all.

From trembling hands and hurried scrawl,

I guard their secrets, great and small.

-

🔴💖 The Pulse of a Thousand Hearts🔴

From 💌 lovers' words to 📰 news afar,

From 💔 broken hearts to ✨ childhood stars,

I have carried them through 🌦️ rain and ☀️ shine,

Through changing hands and shifting time.

-

The ink that flows, the paper’s weight,

Holds dreams that neither age nor fade.

A 👵 grandmother’s note, a 🎖️ soldier’s plea,

Or 📮 postcards sent across the 🌍 sea.

-

🔴📬 A Bridge Across Generations🔴

Once, I stood with honored grace,

A trusted name, a sacred space.

Letters soared on wings so free,

Binding souls beyond the sea.

-

The 🌎 world has changed, the pace is fast,

Yet I endure—built to last.

📱 Screens may glow, and emails race,

But written words still hold their place.

-

For there is ✨ magic in ink and pen,

A piece of soul, a touch of men.

-

🔴✉️ The Lost Art of Letter Writing🔴

In hurried times, few now wait,

For words to land upon their gate.

Yet still, some hands find their way,

To post a thought, to send a ray.

-

A 🎂 birthday wish, a 👩‍👧‍👦 mother’s note,

A 🤫 secret dream, a ❤️ love once wrote.

I keep them safe, their weight I bear,

A 📮 postbox red, with silent care.

-

🔴🗣️ The Echo of Forgotten Voices🔴

Oh, listen close—can you hear?

The voices past, yet still so near.

👣 Footsteps echo, stories blend,

A world of words I still defend.

-

A 💌 letter sent, a ❤️ love confessed,

A 📜 memory sealed, a 💖 heart expressed.

In every fold, in every line,

A piece of history, yours and mine.

    First of all one must remember the skills they learned in school in cursive handwriting class. Then we may look forward to letters and cards, and we could draw our own emojis. Good job.
