Letter from daddy.

Dear Daughter,

I think of you always, forever you are in my heart.

I remember the good things, and cherish the great.

I love you my darling, please look after my wife,

Your mother is an angel, a gift from up above.

I long for the day, we meet again young one.

I hate that it has come to this, I regret having to leave.

If it wasn’t for my country, I’d be sure that I’m to live.

I love you my daughter, remember me each day.

For if you are now to read this, it means that i am dead.

We shall meet again one day my dear, so don’t forget my face.

I’ll meet you by the pearly gates, wearing the watch you made me.

Goodnight my precious baby, Goodbye, and farewell.

With eternal love,

Your beloved father.

 

Date of death: March 22^nd 1939

It's terrible for those families who's fathers, mothers, sisters, or brothers go to war. And it's even more terrible when they're lost in the fight. They're always missed. They are our heros. And they keep our country safe for future generations. This poem is a wonderful tribute to them. They fight for us, and we'll see them again in heaven, where we all can neither feel pain, nor sorrow. Beautiful poem. Good work.

I like it.. i love the purpose that you have put into it, i hate to review poems like this, because i don't know if it comes from an experience or an expression, so assuming for the benefit of the writer and the one who you are writing about..

This poem started off as something beautiful then ended in a lovely horror. I was speechless at the end of the poem. Great work this poem really makes your emotions run.

I have no words. Sad, but comforting at the same time.
