My dearest, I know I promised you

And the kids that I will be home

However, I don't think I can still fulfill it so

At the peak of the war

We found out the hard way that

The enemy is much larger and wiser,

Then what we first perceive they were,

They're sending me to the frontlines

On a mission that's hopefully

Would turn the side of war

Towards our advantage

And finally, end it once in for all

So I don't know if these are the last of my letters

As I said, whatever happens, I love you, my beloved family,

Always and forever

And that I choose to enlist

As my duty to you and our country

They're calling us now; I have to go, my dear

Just promise me, if I die

Keyword "if"

You'll raise the kids well

Find someone that would keep you company

For the rest of your life

Someone that will make you happy

Just like me, who made your well-being a top priority

Like me, who made you and the kids, his number one priority

Somebody who would love you all unconditionally

Promise me also that you, my dears, would not weep

For me too long, but if it comes to that

Just remember, evI'mif I'm not there

Beside you, my beloved family

I will always be present

Where the body and mind connect

In between, on each of your hearts

Simply put, I may not be there physically

I am there with you spiritually

Now even if I'm merely a soul, a ghostly entity

Know that you won't get rid of me that easily

For I will always be a part of each of your stories

And lastly, if you ever miss me

And find yourself lonely,

Look closely up the skies, especially at night

For amidst the many, many dazzling stars

You'll eventually see the moon

And that's where you'll find me

The forever light in your darkest hours

And with this, remember that what's yours

Is at the same time ours
