Letters are wonderful,
just like babies they can be happy or sad,
good or bad, lil or big.
Letters can make you cry,
so can babies
even change your whole life.
You would want to stop
doing time.
They can have you wondering why
they can make your whole day
just with two lines.
Babies are wonderful
just like letters
when you’re doing time.
