And this one needs a reply!
Dear Soldier,
My teacher says we should all pitch in and write letter to POWs, so here I am!
I just want to bring you a little bit of happy. It can be sad not to hear from
your families and friends a lot. I know because once I spent the summer with
my cousin in a cabin in the forest. There was no mail or calls or visitors and
it was kind of lonely after a while. I mean, you can't blame CENSORED (he's my
cousin). Even with one person, it can be lonley, I mean, lonely.
But you, you've got enemies around you. You know, German guards who don't like
you. That's got to be kind of depressing. So I'm here to shine a little sunny
on you a bit. That's what my grandma used to say, "shine a little sunny."
My grandma used to say no matter what happens, keep your chin up. She says
that dark times can have some happy in them. She says the smallest light can
glow in the darkest room.
I hope this letter is a little light for you.
Mommy says we should pray for you, so I asked God to help you and your
friends. I think God has some purpose for you out there. Maybe you got to meet
some nice people you would've never met otherwise. I hope so.
I hope you get to come home soon and not be lonely.
Sincerely,
Arlena (I'm 13)
