Dear Mr. Merritt

Dear Mr. Merritt,

So I got a few words to say.

I didn't know any other way.

Know that I got you on my mind.

As worried thoughts circulate my brain, feeling like I'm going insane.

Stop.

Rewind.

I pray it will all be okay. Because man to this day I can truthfully say you are one of the best people I know.

I look into your daughters eyes and see you. Someone with so much love and compassion.

You wear it on your sleeve like it's a fashion.

So dear Mr. Merritt,

Please know you are never alone and I would do anything to see you back at home.

Stay strong. I love you.
