Letter to an 8-year-old

by Michael England



You never use algebra so don’t let them fool ya.

Geometry is much more useful

especially if you learn to play pool.

Pray you have a healthy mind.

Try to be as real as you can

and don’t give up too easily.

Your feelings can be changed medically if they get too harsh to live with

You are a child of God and he loves you

even though it don’t seem so at times.

You will not always be happy

but you will find some joy.
