Letras
An old man was sitting at his table one day
Writing a letter to pass time away
His little granddaughter climbed up on his knee
Saying, "Won't you please write a letter for me?"
"Oh, what will I say in this letter, I pray
Tell Mommy I miss her since she went away
I'm coming to see her real soon, I hope"
He choked back the big lump that rose to his throat
"Tell Mommy I love her," the little girl said
"And I pray every evening 'fore I go to bed
That God up in Heaven will answer my prayer
And take me to live with Mommy up there"
He sealed it and wrote on the big envelope
"To God up in Heaven, you'll get this, I hope"
He stamped it and handed it to her to mail
Her big eyes were shining, her little face pale
She was crossing the street to a bus o'er the way
When she stepped off the pavement, never looked either way
A big auto hit her and sped away fast
The little girl's prayers had been answered at last
The postman was passing and picked up the note
Addressed to the Master, these words he spoke
"Straight up into Heaven this letter did go
She's happy up there with her Mommy, I know"
