Mail Call

The time has finally come,

As I lie here in my cell,

For I have waited all day long,

Just to see if I got mail.

It won't take much time,

I don't ask that of you.

Just write me a line or two.

Is all you have to do.

A few sweet words of comfort,

Would really make my day,

And let me know I'm thought of,

With each long, passing day.

So put a smile on my face,

As I lay here in my cell.

Let them call my name

When they pass out the mail.

Even though I may not deserve it,

I'm told about second chances.

It would be neat if one came my way today.
