A Letter Unsent

I know your pain not. But I know it would be enough to make the toughest of men want to give up and die. Yet you push through always. I write to you to let you know I’m transforming my sensitive soul into that of a soldier. I am sending it to the academy for strengthening. All the bumps, bruises, slices and cuts to come. I welcome for the chance to better understand you, my hero, my love.
