Description

German Postcard from the 1. world war:

Vater ich ruf dich!
Brüllend umwölbt mich
der Dampf der
Geschütze, -
Sprühend umzucken
mich rasselnde Blitze;
Lenker der Schlachten,
ich rufe dich,
Vater, du führe mich!

My bad english translations (they use very old or poetic words here, and my English not so good ><):

Father I call you!
Crying sorrounds me
the smoke of the
cannons, .
Spraying sorround
me rattling lightnings.
Leader of the battles,
I call you,
father, you lead me!

Is this a real thing from that time?  I'd be afraid something like that would scare my loved ones if I sent it to them.  People were just tougher back then I think.
