ON BEHALF OF RICHARD TO HIS MOM:

July, 7 1963
is a special day for me,
It's the day I was born,
Now I'm gone and you mourn,
But I'd like to set your mind free,

I left this world so early,
at the age of 23,
It seems like such an early time for me to have to go,
and it hurt you all so badly, and of this I really know,
But my sister Theresa asked for me to come, Because she was so lonely,

She looks so much like you do mother,
and she wanted to have her big brother,
She left so much sooner than I did,
'Cause grandpa Charles wanted his grandkid,
and because she looked so much like you, he didn't want no other,

Theresa and I are being spared all the pain you have endured,
In the end there is a great peace, and of life you will be cured,
I know you've come to see me, all the days and months and years,
Because I have been feeling all your sympathy and tears,
We all miss you as badly of that you'll be assured,

I've taken one flower from each bouquet that you have brought,
and I put them in a pretty vase, with a bow tied in a knot,
Grandpa Charles says you are so special that is why you are still there,
for all of your children and family who still badly need your care,
When you think your time to go is near, maybe that's so, but then maybe not,

I'd like to drop down and see you, but my parachute won't come back up,
So I dropped down this letter instead, while drinking from my cup,
Just wanted to say hello to all my loved ones down below,
By the way, grandma, Aunt Bev, Dorothy and Rose also asked I say hello,
I guess I'll close for now, and leave you to your thoughts, by the way I like
Pete's Pup,

If you want to get in touch again just send a message through our lord,
or if you like, write to me sometime if you're feeling kinda bored,
Just put a letter in a bottle or email me, my address is HeavensentRich.God,
Oh once again, please remember I love you very much, my loving mom,
Well I will close for now, it's getting late and were all sitting on the shore.

Love your Past-Present Son Richard

written by your sister, for mom during mourning.
