I wrote something myself, it may helps

My heart was dead when we board on boat.

I light a lantern but can’t see the way.

The stars and moon in the fair lake. 

My wife and daughter far from the distance,

As the stars in the lake but never able to catch.

If ever I dead in the brutal battle,

I prize another man to love my wife. 

The rewards from heaven will bless on my family,

My external body has gone away;

but internal body will last forever!
