Charles Messina Poet Rhyme

If The Dolphins Swim Alone

If I'm not home for Christmas 
And I've lost my heart at war 
Just know that I'll be there with you, my love 
From heaven...for evermore 
By chance I cross the oceans 
And see dolphins swim with glee 
I'll find the brightest star at night 
And bring it home for you and me 
We'll sit upon its fingers 
And watch the mornings light 
And when the evenings sun sets down 
We'll go back there again at night 
Just know that I'll be there with you, my love 
And I'll be with you...for evermore 
By chance the dolphins swim alone 
And I lose my heart at war 


*Dedicated to all the soldiers and heroes at war who have sweethearts and wives at home.
