As the war ends for me,
I have no regrets,
I’ve seen too much horror
I hope fate has been more merciful to you.
Our time on Earth is brief,
and mine has been filled with so much joy,
that i can only be thankful for
how much i’ve been blessed,
most specially for the wonder
you brought into my life.
This letter is my last,
I’ve been found guilty by a military court
for the death of an officer.
It was not my intention to kill him.
War makes men mad.
Though I failed Karl,
I know my sacrifice has not been in vain.
I fought for my country and my liberty,
my honour is assured.
Since it is the will of God to separate us on Earth,
I hope we’ll meet again in heaven.
Keep me in your prayers.
Your loving papa,
Always.
The scales of justice may tip one way or another but ultimately they balance out.
