Beautiful Stories To Tell

Foreign legionaires tell stories
of a woman that appears
to a chosen few.
Always at their moment
of greatest desperation
she comes to see then through.
I'll tell you of such a story,
every word I speak is true,
for I met this woman that saved me
in the deserts of Rendezvous.
All my comrades had been slaughtered,
picked off by a band of Arabs one by one,
only I was marching onward,
losing my battle with the hot desert sun.
Two times Ahab's men charged me,
but I fought them off hand to hand.
Now I stumbled lost and weary
across the parched desert sand.
In the distance was an oasis,
it's beauty wishing me well,
there I met a lovely maiden,
who told me that she knew me well.
She told me that her name was Suzie,
and as we stood before the wishing well,
she granted me just one wish, I wished
that I would know her well.
For I knew that if I could share my
life with Suzie, I would have a lifetime
of beautiful stories to tell.
