Running to the mail

A letter from you

It cheers my whole day

They always do

I get in the door

And open it with care

I read the first page

And stop and stare

You're having a bad day

Hurting a lot

I want to hug you

But a letter's all I got

I wish I could help

Just come over a while

But I never can

You can't even see my smile

So I pen an "I'm sorry"

But it isn't enough

Because separation 

From a loved one is rough
