"I'm writing a letter..."

I’m writing a letter
And hope it will let us
Connect the life banks with a bridge.

This bridge is iron
When you see the answer
That dispels all nasty fear and dark.

You say “Hello!” I read “My love!”
The words that lighten all my life.
And bring the happiness and hope.

And all I want is just to see
That mom and friends still wait for me.
So does the happy life and free
Just some more time – and it will be!
