Not a Moment Too Soon

I met her on a foreign shore, two souls adrift it seemed She could see it in my eyes, a common search we felt I was alone and so was she and I was bound for war To slay a foe I did not know, but one she knew too well We talked of the future and the past and ignored the war For it would come and it would go who knew what it would leave Then we held each other tight for my time at war had come And that day on a foreign shore we prayed we'd not be grieved I look back at a time that came not a moment too soon For I found love on a foreign shore, and listened to the Loon In the midst of death and chaos we found a simple peace - Now children are grown and that was not a moment too soon 1-23-20 Contest: Not A Moment Too Soon Sponsor: Edward Ibeh
