Dear God,

Can you hear me?

If yu’re busy, I understand,

But I jst have a little time now.

So I was hpin’ you could maybe hear me tday.

Just a couple loose ends to tdy up,

If you can help.

I dne a few bad things,

Won’t hve time to make them right nw,

So I thought maybe you culd lend me a hand.

Guess I hven’t asked for much before.

Don’t thnk that I have.

Don’t know why I did wht I did,

Hurt some fine pople.

Didn’t seem to care at the tme,

Guess I do now, though.

Can you tll them, somehow, that I’m sorry?

Dn’t even know if you’re real, Gd.

Maybe you only live in poples’ heads.

But I can’t think of one ther friend.

Never needed any, you knw?

‘till now, maybe.

So it cmes down to this, ay?

Askin’ for hlp.

Never thought I‘d do that,

Prtty stubborn, you know.

But . . . I gess you know.

Preacher came by tday,

Told him to go to hll. (heh,heh)

Same place I’m headed, rght?

Don’t care much about that thugh,

Anymore.

Can’t even remember why I was so mad

All the tme.

But I was.

Better not get in my wy!

But not anymore.

You’re not in my wy, now.

I tried my best,

But lfe; you know, it’s short and frious for some.

And now . . . wll,

The fury’s gone.

It’s quiet, nw.

So when I walk out of my cll later,

And down that long hll,

I’ll be brave.

I promise, Gd.

But do me a favor, wll you;

Remember the little boy,

Tht once was me.

The little by,

That got so lost in lfe.

And that’s about it, God.

Thnks.

Oh, Just one more thing —

Mybe you can cut me a brak . . . ay?
