It was a time When US Marines Were a dime a dozen As I recall They fought Germans Cowboys Indians Johnny Reb and strangely Never any Japanese How they battled among the shoes Shot down by marbles Rubber bands BB guns and anything a boy could throw I’ve lost the way That took it seriously So there they are on the closet shelf Waiting for their commander to reappear Above the clothes I’ll never wear again The box of pictures Faded letters From someone I used to know |

That was touching...deeply personal. I was more than touched by this poem...but I'm at a loss for the right word to explain what I feel. Yv~Seeing eternal Sunshine |
