1. Ho pensato alle lacrime di mio padre. Mi sono ricordato degli avvertimenti di mia madre. La mia coscienza mi faceva male. Ero stato un cattivo figlio. Ero partito senza permesso. Avevo spezzato i loro cuori. E ora Dio mi stava punendo.
I thought
about the tears
of my father.
I remembered
the warnings
of my mother.
My conscience
hurt
me.
I had been
a bad son.
I had left
without
permission.
I had broken
their hearts.
And
now
God
was punishing me.
