Poem

He stood there where you stand!
He shook me by the hand
He told me about his plan
To marry a beautiful woman

He said he'd been away
So many places, he'd almost lost his way
Flying by night, flying by day
What he was doing would pave the way
To us all living a better way

We sat and I just let him speak
I'd never met anyone quite like him
So polite and strong, charismatic and true
It's not often you're in awe by what's in front of you!

He asked me who I was with, what regiment did I serve in?
I said the army for seven years back then
He smiled and said that the army had had it rough
I said all in all I suppose that's fair enough

A coldness settled in the air
He looked at the window but there was nothing there
As he said goodbye to me
He gave me this letter to pass on to Anne Marie

I asked who she was and where she could be found
He said beauty lives where beauty is found?

I told this story to the  landlord of the 'kings head inn'
It's where I had met this man the previous evening
The landlord said that he couldn't recall
If that night I'd even been there at all?

I told him I was staying there for a week
That he had served me with many drinks
I asked him if he knew of an Anne Marie
That's when he looked at me so quizzically

He said his grandmother had that name
That she had worked there when bombs were dropping
That she once told him of a man that she loved in the time of war
And about how his grandad died bombing Germany many years before

I was dumbfounded when he told me more
That you were coming in person to ask me more
You show me this picture of a man
The same man I sat with who shook my hand!

I can now give this letter to the woman he loved
Anne Marie; I think this letter was written for you
