Dear Mister Death
Dear Mister Death,
My name is Jimmy and I'm only six
I am upset, everything is in a fix
My Daddy is working so far away
He is a soldier, please keep him safe today
Thanking you
Jimmy
Dear Jimmy,
Thank you for writing, but there's nothing I can do
Your Daddy won't be coming home to you
He was killed today, fighting the enemy
I'm so sorry but he will be coming to me
Apologies
Death
Dear Mister Death,
I'm begging you, please let Daddy come home
Spare his life, you can have my own
Mummy is going to have my baby brother
Mummy and Daddy really need each other
Yours
Jimmy
Dear Jimmy,
Okay then, I know how you must feel
I will visit tonight for you to sign the deal
Yes, I will allow your Daddy to be fine
But I'm sorry Jimmy, you are now mine
See you soon
Death
This is amazing Chris..Very creative and sadly beautiful.
Very rare correspondences and extraordinary and it seems the death like shylock, sad indeed!Still it's a mystery the birth & death but Chris knows his whereabouts.
wow ! this tugs at the old heart strings~very unique
Such an unusual write and although very sad I loved it.... Pat
