Sadly nobody in our family knows what happened to this little note I wrote to my Mama in an angry moment ... but we all remember the story. I may have had my emotional ups and downs as a little boy, but at least I had been taught good manners and how to write a polite letter!

LOVE, DAN

A little boy’s letter handwritten by me
Sick and tired of being the youngest of three
And the love at the end was all you could see
“Dear Mama, I hate you. Love, Dan”
You knew as I grew some I’d probably find
The greatest part of me was gentle and kind
Thank heaven for mothers whose love’s truly blind
“Dear Mama, I hate you. Love, Dan”
“Dear Mama, I hate you. Love, Dan”
You sure loved the boy, I know you’d love the man
Thank you for making me all that I am
“Dear Mama, I hate you. Love, Dan”
I wish I could recall what you said when you said it
I know I was sorry the moment you read it
Like so many things in my life, I regret it
“Dear Mama, I hate you. Love, Dan”
I could sure use a few of your wise words to quote
How you tenderly handled my heartbreaking note
I’m holding a letter our youngest just wrote
“Dear Daddy, I hate you. Love, Sam”
“Dear Daddy, I hate you. Love, Sam”
How to help a sweet boy grow into a fine man
You know we’re all doing the best that we can
“Dear Mama, I hate you. Love, Dan”
“Dear Daddy, I hate you. Love, Sam”
Dear Mama
I love you
Love, Dan
