But only if there's anything left

V5

They sent you to war. To far Africa For his policy Was a constant topictheme You were taken prisoner. Visiting the Americans For them in the textile industry You've never been hated by them. Back home after the war Finally back Back to your small town On your own property Your husband His father A man of honor Her father-in-law Carpenter by trade A man of the heart Beautiful things he created A friendly carpenter And he came to visit quietly That's how he said he stood as a good Christian They asked him if he wanted a drink. But only if there's anything left. And when I was born Right here in this town. Has he chosen it as a gift My favourite cuddly toy A man of honor, A statesman, My Santa Claus, A classmate Take care of grandma. She was so sick. Also your son was there for them You found morphine in the closet. Chess was your favorite sport Even father was your opponent. You beat everyone in town. I never won, it was clear. So sick in the end You didn't even recognize me anymore. You got so slender spiritually It was so hard for you to remember. In the depths of my heart I miss you very much You are the inspiration of my thinking The farewell was hard You stay in my thoughts. As the one you are Father of an official In the heart, true Buddhist or Christian?!
