A Letter To Lisa

I wrote a letter to Lisa And sent it above. It starts out "Dear Lisa" and ends with "All my love" I asked dear Lisa, are you happy and where did you go? Do you know how your missed and if yes, how so? I told dear Lisa that I look for her in any mystical way. I asked to see her pretty face at night when I pause to pray. I asked dear Lisa, is it you who talks to me in my dreams at night? And when looking above on a dark sky, is it your star that so bright? I told dear Lisa of how her mother still cries with such grief. And how on a sad day the pennies she leaves gives comforting relief. I reminded dear Lisa our last words will lay heavy on my mind. And how when younger we had a cousin relationship like no other kind. I told dear Lisa my memories of her are happy and so very gay. As children we would laugh, sing and for hours we did play. As we grew older our lives did drift apart. But my dear Lisa you never left my heart. I had one last question for dear Lisa, Do you sing with angels? Did Jesus take you by the hand? Did he lead you to heaven to be with him in the holy land? When folding my letter the tears sting my face with pain. It was then I heard a slight whisper Tammy, we will be together again.
