Array ( [sid] => 15222 [catid] => 1 [aid] => Mick [title] => A Letter Home [time] => 2003-03-30 12:05:00 [hometext] => A Poem for my Mom. Thank you for all you've done.

The Phantom [bodytext] => Dear Mother,

Hello mom, I'm ok, just a little shook up the last few days,
No we still haven't found Saddam, we just keep dropping bombs,
How's sissy doing, she's lost weight, that's great,
I'm doing fine, it just seems I'm lost in time,
Yes Tearsica is holding on, sometimes though she finds it hard to stay strong,
But I can understand, it's been a year since she's seen her man,
Yeah the wether is fine, it starts to warm up about this time,
Yes I still write poetry, even though nobody knows me,
Life is at a stand still, no mom I'm not gonna get killed,
Don't worry so much, it's bad for your heart and stuff,
Kim's got a new boyfriend now, I think his 16, and his hair is brown,
No mom I'm not going to Iraq, so just relax,
But if I go, I'll be sure to write home,
Yes mother I'll wear clean underware, and my hair will be combed,
No I haven't gone to church, I've been working so hard it hurts,
But I do pray, I hope God listens to what I have to say,
How's dad, is the playstation still making him mad,
I miss you too, and I want to thank you,
For always being there, always showing me you care,
Showing me wrong from right, most of all giving me life,
Well I better let you go, I got another mission you know,
I love you, and think about you, in everything I do,
Forever your son, The Phantom.
