I write this letter
For I have none
The man who reads this
Should know what I have done

Confessions in red
Memories in blue
My life in a sentece
And things for you

On this page
you shall see
My life in words
and melodies

The day I was born
And that day I died
The things I said true
And the things that I lied

On this page
I had written
My will to you
Shall you have my kitten

I had told wisdom
for children to come
for life is true
and can be lonesome

Follow your dreams
My dear son
I write this letter for you
and the love I have done
