A SOLDIER WRITES
By: Pvt. Paul A. Gunn 31353920
The sky was dark, last night, my dear,
with not a star in sight.
The air was hushed, though still and clear,
The candle flickered bright
And then I filled my fountain pen,
paused for words to say
To tell how I miss you
Four thousand miles away.
To tell you how I dream each night
of days we used to know;
And plans for those to come
My dear, I love you so.
Remember I love you
Your loving brother,
Paul
