Get some paper.

Write a letter in pencil or pen.

Write in any language.

Fold in the paper.

Make sure it will fit.

Place the letter in a bottle.

Send in water.

The sea will be a guide.

The letter’s journey will be northbound.

Maybe to the North Pole or Antarctica.

Maybe Santa Claus and/or his eight tiny reindeer may see it.

Forward the letter goes.

The sea was wet, the bottle was dirty.

A son, daughter, mother, or father may see the letter.

May the letter be a voice.

A voice of peace.

Maybe the end of wars or poverty or drought.
