Notes About The Poem

Two Lips - a Memory 1969

To replace - my cost of my call
I made this big card, special
for my sweet heart's, with all
my love, I do scribe for you...

Valentine's Day is special for a few
sending my love on our special day,
   is so very difficult for me to do
for our Valentine's doesn't come any
     sweeter or nicer than you...

Here in Nam it’s hard to bare,
   too, share my missing you
a phone just won’t do I fear
              So too…
I made this bag card, special,
my sweetest heart's, all of you
with all my love reserved
you’ll receive my card it's true

All, with my 'red imprint' of
my lips, for what I’d rather do
 I have scribbled Michelle,
     Angela, Mom too...

A clever poem for all my love
you all, along with this cleaver
        Red "two lips"
    Instead of flowers

Yes! No card can compare with one made with tender loving care expressing what is in one's heart. Love prose, dear Perry.
