The Letter
Listen to Jessica read her poem ...
I got a letter today
I tore it open, fast as I could
I opened a letter today.
I opened a letter today
A favorite friend who moved for good
sent me a letter today.
She sent me a letter today.
A birthday card! I hoped she would!
Read it, please! What does it say?!
She’s thinking of me today,
and someday soon she’ll come to play.
We’ll play all day someday.
I mailed a letter today.
She’ll get it this week (at least she should)
I invited her over today.
My friend is here, hooray!
They drove all the way, I knew she would!
She came to visit today.
I tore it open, fast as I could
I opened a letter today.
I opened a letter today
A favorite friend who moved for good
sent me a letter today.
She sent me a letter today.
A birthday card! I hoped she would!
Read it, please! What does it say?!
She’s thinking of me today,
and someday soon she’ll come to play.
We’ll play all day someday.
I mailed a letter today.
She’ll get it this week (at least she should)
I invited her over today.
My friend is here, hooray!
They drove all the way, I knew she would!
She came to visit today.
