An old man was sitting at his table one day.   Writing a letter to pass time away.   His little grand daughter climbed up on his knee,   Said 'wont you please write a letter for me'   Oh, what will i say in this letter i prey.   Tell mommy i miss her since she went away.   And i'm comming to see her sreal soon i hope.   He choked back a big lump that rose in his throte.   Tell mommy i love her the little girl said.   And i prey every evening before i go to bed.   That god up in heave will answer my prayer and take to live with my mommy up there.   He sealed it and wrote on that 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 shiney, her little face pale.   She was crossing the street to the box over the way.   When she stepped out never look either way.   A big auto hit her, and sped away fast.   The little girls prayers had been answered at last.   The post man 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 ther with her mommy i know.
