Goldilocks (Untitled) "A Letter to Pete"

Dear Pete,

Second letter, same day. I had to write to you. I had this
poem come over so strongly and Daddy said I had to let have it
even tho’ I thought you would be upset by it.

Message to Peta

Dear Peta

It’s me — Hello!
Did you think you had lost me — no.
I’m with you always friend
You know I was so frightened there
And glad to go
Where I knew I would be safe
Please don’t be sad
It’s such a little parting
Seen from this side
Please bide your time with patience
Please try to understand
You said you loved me then —
Keep on believing —
I am still your friend.

I didn’t write this Peta — well not really. I had a job to get
it down. I hope you won’t feel scared. Remember Goldilocks!
