Pen Pals

Pen Pals

©1988 by Bud Lemire

Thank you so very much, for the letters you send

And the happiness it brings, I'm proud to call you friend

The words that arrive by envelope, means so much to me

They make me feel lucky, to be alive and be free

When I'm tired and dirty, from working all day

Your letter arrives, and makes me feel happy in a special way

Whether they be long letters, or short ones I receive

They put a spell of enjoyment on me, with the magic they leave

No matter if your letters, are written big or small

Doesn't matter to me, because I love them all

I really don't care if your letters are sloppy, or typed all the way through

I like them, because they're the ones I receive from you

It doesn't matter, how long or short of a letter I get

But it's how much you as a human, put into it

These things really do mean, the world to me

And it makes me so proud, to know that you like me

It's alright, if they're early or they're late

A letter from you, is worth the wait

Thank you once again, for the letters my friend

May this relationship we have, never end

Back when I had many Pen Pals. Letters

we'd write back and forth. Pen Pals from

all over the USA and Canada, England,

New Zealand, France, etc. Just to wait

for the mail to come, to see who I was

going to get a letter from today.
