As they sat on the beach and he held her hand.
She knew in her heart he was the right man.
He pulled her close and held her tight.
In her heart she knew this felt right.

He kissed and touched her as she felt the thrills.
She knew this was how love would feel.
As they lay together after sharing their love.
They knew their love was sent from heaven up above.

They never thought about what might come.
That later on they would be blessed with a son.
She was 16 and he 18 on that day.
When their lives changed in so many ways.

He got called to the war right after they wed.
"I`ll love you forever" were the last words he said.
Now as she holds her son and goes out the door.
She`ll say goodbye to her love she`ll see no more.

As the folded flag is placed in her hand.
She says goodbye as she touches her wedding band.
I`ll love you forever though we`re now apart.
But you will always be the love of my heart.

Junita darling heart OH HOW MUCH I MISSED YOU this is simply exquisite, I love it when your words are wrapped in such soft and delicate wings of wonder. Mmmmm this is just too delicious for words..

How beautiful the flow and the sweet sadness of this delight and as always darling heart your words shine like no other. Do I love this? YES YES YES I love it utterly utterly utterly. Beautifully written and perfectly presented. As I said this is exquisite

Welcome back darling girl, I hope the foot feels better soon xxxxx oh I did really miss you so much, because you are a fine writer and a joy to have around.

I sent some kisses and some hugs to you via Stevie I hope he delivered them safely xx

Love and warm stuff
As always
Mushy

Breathe through the heat of our desire
Thy coolness and they balm
Let sense be dumb let flesh retire
Speak through the earthquake wind and fire

War is a cruel god.He shows no concern for love.Your poem shows that those who fall are not the only cassualties of war.There should be a memorial at the wall for those who lost their loved ones.
