THE LETTERS
I never seen you cry
With the tears fall from your eyes
I know you miss him so
It was hard to let him go
I saw them fall upon your cheek
The words they hit you so deep
Your daddy’s still not here
He slowly disappeared
He said be a good girl
Fulfill your mothers’ wishes well
Learn to dance and how to spell
And be a good girl
He said I’m sorry
I can not be there
To walk you from school
Kiss you goodnight
before you go to bed
He said I’m sorry
I have to be away
But I still love you and miss you
every single day
He said be a good girl
Listen to stories birds tell
Go to sleep before the moon swells
And be a good girl
She read the letters to me
Pieces of your history
Scriptures from your daddy
Written in 1943
