More To Love Than 'That'

You look like a pinup, so my Alfred

Said, but he was blind as a bat,but

With an.heart of gold and eyes

So kind, I didn't mind he wasn't

Sexually that way inclined.

Although he tried.

We never spoke of how to

careress, in the forties that

Wasn't the thing to do back then,

And we were in the middle of

A terrible war.So we just held

Hands and shut Our eyes and

Prayed for a wonderful surprise.

it wasn't a volcano erupting

Sadly not, more like a cake

Looking appetizing on the plate

But once you had a bite,it left

You feeling anything but delight.

But nevertheless I loved him so

And he always treated me right,

Even when uncle jack accidently

killed his favorite black cat. and

Cousin Pauline burnt an hole in

His new straw hat, he brought to

Give Father Mac.

We met at his army barracks in Kent,

While treating another poor soldier for

Shock,he shouted nurse i need you

Quickly, it wasn't romantic anything but

Yet I knew when I turned and saw his face,

I had found my heaven, amongst this

War of evil and hourly empty beds.

So every day I wish he was here

And  shed yet more painful tears,

While my heart and soul miss him

 In my life, I smile with honor of being

An officer's wife.
