I Willingly Give My Love and My Life For Them

my constant friend i still do not know exactly what we are doing here but i feel death is starting at my feet and working up so...... i must ask you to tell my lover and my mother that i willingly give my life so that they may be free tell them to look at each spring as a blessing and talk about how i loved the spring. and to you my dear friend, if you make it out of here i am going to ask you to give a extra kiss to those you love then think of me well the time is here and i shut my eyes....no i do not hurt. i see my daddy and my grandad at the gate and i must run to meet them. i have made it here and i am truly free. by janetta
