Thanks so much
I wrote a letter up to God today
I wrote Him a letter because I couldn’t pray
I wrote Him and then I wrote you
I could think of anything else I could do
I couldn’t sleep, I couldn’t cry
I didn’t even write Him to ask why
I wrote Him so he’d care for you
Give you love and big hugs too
It even made me kind of smile
To know that He’d just hold you for a while
I miss you more than you’ll ever know
Hopefully in my success it will show
I asked God to give you ton of kisses
Because most of all i know it what you miss
You amd paw paw take care of each other
And I promise to check on your mother
Wait patiently for me until I arrive
I have a few more things left so I survive
We’re all doing well mom so please don’t worry
We won’t be leaving here in a hurry
I love you and I always will
It’s now time for you to rest and be still
God has read you my letter I can tell
Because things have been going well
