Dear A.

You said yourself that hiding in your coat

is like your own little world of security.

I don’t mind if you hide there,

but I want you to feel secure without

having to.

Your eyebrows almost touch, and

your glasses take up most of your face,

and I think you’re just brilliant.

We know something too:

God’s not dead.

And I’m so proud you’re

asking your principal

to let you sing a Christian song

on talent night.
