Here is something to think about…..

A Son’s Letter

I think of you a lot dear Dad, since you’ve gone away.

I think of you and miss you every hour, of every day.

I hate to tell you all the news, for it may make you sad.

For things are so much different, since we lost you Dad.

You know that nice big house we had, my mother, you and me?

Well, we don’t live there anymore, for we had to move you see.

The bank, well, it was awful, they said we couldn’t stay.

For when the house note was due, my mother couldn’t pay.

I heard her tell them how she missed your paycheck every week.

And she was sad and cried so hard, she could hardly speak.

She went to work the other day, but I can’t tell you where.

She said you’ feel so bad if you knew that she was there.

She doesn’t earn much money, and the work is hard to do.

But, I guess we’ll have to do our best, without the help from you.

Our neighbors say it’s all your fault, for you didn’t buy the plan.

That you were urged to purchase from that life insurance man.

Oh, I know you meant to buy it, because I heard you tell the man,

that you would “think it over”and “someday” take the plan.

Well, I guess I’ve told you all the news that I had better tell.

And I hope that you forgive me, if it doesn’t sound that well.

There just one more thing I want to tell you, just as soon as I can.

I intend to do business with that life insurance man.

What kind of letter will your family write you after you gone?

Take care of them now, “someday” may not come.

Call me. I’m here for you. 555-555-5555
