Unfinished Choirs

send to - father mother brother and sister, you are constantly on my mind

what was intended, hoped for, is not yet fulfilled

there is only one place my heart resides

with you my son, but what you encounter I will not

know, hear or see, as a mother a father

only our heart is with you, even if we want to be

I’ve done wrong to you father and mother

forgive me, I am not a good speaker

this is all I can write this is the knowledge that I have

(Translated from a letter written in Shan)
