a soldiers wish

One soldiers wish



The one thing that troubles me to this day , is that I didn?t have ? THAT ?picture to tack on the barracks wall. You

Know; the one you stared at during those lonely times.

I knew this girl, who lived two doors from me. One day

when we were around 15 or so, she mentioned this song

and mentioned that she sure wished she knew the words

to it . So what did chuckie do; I went down to the record store and bought a copy of ? SKYLARK ?, and spent hours replaying it till I had all the words written down. The next day ,I gave it to her and wished I hadn?t. She said ? GEE,

MY BOYFRIEND WILL LOVE THIS,---THANKS?

That cooled it till I enlisted and was ready to go in.In the

Meantime she broke up with HIM, and gave me a picture

Of her. I never did tack it on the wall.After I was out of the

Service a while, My loving sister, told this girl she worked with, that she had a brother and that she thought the two of us would be good for each other. Now I learned later that she always told her girlfriends that if she ever got married,

It would be to a ?Tall, Dark, And Handsome Type. Well,

We had our blind date.On our fourth date I proposed on Christmas Eve and were married in May. The happiest days of my life. Two years ago she went to her final rest.Today is our anniversary, and I didn?t want to go to church,but I was to usher and have missed too many days . I got through it okay, but after I returned home and turned on the radio,

The song that was playing? ? I WALK ALONE?



Her poem will sustain me til we meet again



Just because your'e fifty

Don't think that you are old,

Cause you are still my happiness

No matter what the years enfold.



So let's be happy , glad, and gay,

And have a real nice day.

We'll be each others future,

In every single way.



I love when you come to me.

And when you step through our door,

I see your face and always know,

Your'e the guy that I adore



My love always,Flo
