My Ocean Wave
Sounds to me like my ocean wave,
Where sailors died and is their grave;
Over my dad's grave it does flow;
Was to us such a serious blow.
Near Sicily location is two miles off of;
200 feet below body of one we love;
Now rests there where he does reside,
And beloved country he bravely died.
All true. CPO Arthur F. Horn Aircraft

Together Once More
There are many ways you may wander
And money made might also squander
Before a fair maiden you finally find
Who is lovely, likeable and also kind.
Am not certain where it may have been
Or if we would to go back there again
Place became noisier then needed to be
But still was humble with much hospitality.
But pretty soon we both knew for sure
Together anything surely could endure
Was perfect place and liked being there
We had respected and handled with care.
Now that we know our love was really true
To become married we did decide to do
Lived close together each and every day
Until my wife eventually passed away.
Never forgot each moment and loved her so
To me, all of this became a serious blow
Was precious and her I always did adore
Soon will be in heaven together once more.

His twilight is in the here-after
His debt is never paid
Watch out for the Devil
His bid has long since been
Laid,
Never lax for the Devil
He is smooth and He is sleek'
One of the most regent of
Practitioner is that you might
Ever want to meet
He strives' and delivers' a
Serious blow'
He will
Ruin your life for-ever
And only Christ will know
That He is a Serpent
Of the Devil
And that you are but man
