The Letter J

The alphabet soup Is ready A spoon in the bowl Sort through the letters To pick one That touches your soul My pick was a “J” For Big “J” My brother now gone He’s with Mom and Dad Up on high That’s where they belong A family of four Three are gone Only I remain But my time is near Soon we’ll be A family again
