My dearest Millie listen close,
For these are the only words I dare leave behind,
I pen them as shadows cascade upon the fleeting light of my days,
In the vast expanse through the trinkets of time,
Millie you shall find meaning and strength,
Though my presence will fade eventually,
My love for you will burn evermore, Sweetheart.

My dearest Millie listen close,
The moon's silver gaze casts eerie reflections,
Reflections upon the marble floorings,
Ghostly whispers of memories we're yet to make,
In this ethereal realm,
I shall forever watch upon you, Millie,
As the world's harsh truths upon your tender heart shall break,
Away from the little swing we made upon the Apple tree,
Away from the lakes I took you for fishing,
Away from the shining stars I told you tales under,
Tales of magic and dragons,
Tales of prince and princess,
I know Millie that there shall be days,
Days of my Angel under the weather,
Days of bitterness and toxin,
But dearest it is never forever,
Never forever.

My dearest Millie listen close,
Remember the lullabies I sang under the moonlight,
Remember we learnt to grace guitar for your golden smile,
Oh my horrific voice as I sang,
Oh those innocent giggles imprinted in my dreams,
Millie I am forever here to soothe your fears,
For life's battles shall be fierce,
A relentless and cruel chase,
Don't you worry, Millie,
Dad is forever by your side, Soldat,
For the echoes of your laughter are forever in wind,
Oh the gentle caress,
A beacon of hope even upon my darkest days,
Even stars fade from the sky, Dearest,
Yet my spirit shall endure,
My spirit shall guide you in gentle lights of aurora.

My dearest Millie listen close,
Hold upon your dreams steadfast, Precious,
In the garden of your soul let hope bloom forever,
Away from this crimson jade,
Though my days are numbered and my race nearly ran,
My love forever transcends beyond the cold tomb, Love,
When the world is agonisingly cruel,
And despair grasps your heart, Dear,
Just hang on, Love,
Seek comfort in the endless words I left you,
Words stacked in the velvet study you despised,
Words etched in my undying care,
For as I watch beyond the veil of earthly gaze,
I'll be the whisper in the wind, my Love,
I'll be the prayer in your silent stare, forever.

My dearest Millie listen close,
For soon my voice shall fade,
For soon the fortress that hid you shall crumble away,
For soon the rock that held you shall wither apart,
And when it does,
And this letter's ink has dried,
The wax over seal long solidified,
May my Millie carry forth with courage of warriors,
Carry forth with grace of Gods,
For in your eyes I shall live eternally, Millie,
My beautiful child,
I am right here.
