Then Came War

I saw her standing in the mist Oh, this was long before we kissed She was a child and so was I But that changed slowly, bye and bye The courtship seemed to last for years We laughed and cried and dried our tears We wed one June before the war The time was short, the distance far And then war came and I was gone We knew our love would carry on And so it did, but here I lie All shot to hell as here I die Don't bury me in blood soaked land Take me to Texas' wind blown sand She was my life - my life was good Just carve those words on mesquite wood 4-27-20 Contest: Couplet- Any Length, Any Theme Sponsor: Dear Heart
