The Letter
The day the letter came,
The day my life ended,
The day my world seemed to come to a close, an end.
My father, my best friend, a soldier as brave as any,
A Cornell, a father, a friend,
The day the letter came, my world ended
My mind imagined his last moments-
Did he suffer?
Did he cry?
Did he beg?
Did he think of me, did he think of his daughter, his family?
My father, my best friend, a soldier as brave as any,
A hostage- left to the mercy of others,
Left to the mercy of those who gave none
The day the letter came,
The day my life ended,
That day my world seemed to come to close, an end.
