Dear Child

Hey Baby
I know it's been a while
But I know you haven't forgotten me
So thank you for that
And I just want you to know
Not a day goes by where I don't think of you
Picture you in my mind
Wonder what you're doing
Wonder how this plays out
If your mother gets you
Will you see your sister
Will I ever see you again
The little girl that captured my heart
And drove me to insanity
The girl I would do anything for
The girl I stuck around for
What will become of you?

I'm thinking about starting a diary
A little online journal just for you
Just something to read when you're older
And you can understand
And put your reservations aside
And just read
Read what I say, then decide my fate
You won't remember be in 10 years,
Maybe even in 5
But I'll always hang your picture up
God, your room's already a shrine
I've decided to keep it ready
In case they ever let you come home
In case a miracle happens
Because maybe there is a God
And maybe he's a just God
Maybe he'll see what's going on
And maybe the web catches them
Maybe.

But this is your introductory letter, child
And when the time comes, you'll know where to find
Your little journal of love letters
And sob story letters
The pleading letters, the mourning letters,
Every letter.
You'll know.
