I worked a special write-in type,
a column for our town...
Letters from unloved and such,
the stack was going down.
I opened the last letter from,
my office mail-room sack...
The front was plain and simple, but,
three hearts adorned the back.
Addressed in child-like printing,
I checked it once again...
Inside, the folded paper said,
"my name is Becky Lynn".
"Mr. Valentine", it started out,
"I'm only six years old...
I shouldn't understand these things,
at least so I've been told.
My mom says dad no longer cares,
that's why they live apart...
She says what Daddy really needs,
is to have a change of heart!
So I am sending something,
that might help daddy see...
Just how much that there's still left,
in the hearts of mom and me.
If you could give it to him,
I think that it might do..."
Inside I found a candy heart,
inscribed with..."I Love You".
I found a new sensation,
that came from deep within...
Four years ago I'd said good-bye,
to my wife and Becky Lynn!
Now I must find my family,
and make a brand new start...
My life was changed by the tender touch,
of a pair of Little Hearts!
