Oh my Lord!
Why did you let my son go?
He was unique son! Why did they take away his life?
Dear son, you didn't want this, did you?
But life's cruelty and human injustice wanted so.
Oh my Lord!
Why didn't they think of a mother's anguish?
Why didn't these jackals think
that they were a mother's son, too?
Dear son,
who are in the eternal home,
how I would like you to ask God
that your mother may one day
find comfort and peace
so to be able to forget your tragic departure.
Oh my Lord!
Give me the necessary strength to continue to fight
for the future in life,
and if it is possible spread the forgiveness
to all the humanity who took away so cruelly
my dear son's life.
A written memory for my dear child's tragic departure
Chile, Punta de Tralca, June 12, 1976
