LOVE AND WAR
the year 1917 august 15 on wednesdayÂ
the war rages on in france
behind enemy lines in a foxhole
is doctor craig and nurse Mary
they try to patch up soldiersÂ
the best they could they talk
every day and fell in love and in secretÂ
they would kiss and try to be aloneÂ
while the war rages onÂ
they talk about going to the town
2 mils away  that is been bomb
out and no one was there
so they can be alone so theyÂ
pick a night to go and theyÂ
wouldn't tell any one they said
let go tonight at midnightÂ
the moon was full as midnight
comes they take off to town
with bottle of wine and cheese
and crackers as the war ragesÂ
on they to get town and find a bombed out
building where they think theyÂ
will be safe they sit on the floor
by the window the full moonÂ
shineing in they drink wineÂ
and eat crackers and cheeseÂ
they dance in the moon lightÂ
they kiss and make love asÂ
the war rages on they talk
about there life that theyÂ
will have togther and then
a bomb hits there building
and they both die in vein in there
arms and are for ever togther
love and war

Thank you Cherie I wanted to put in there they stole a record player with soft music But it didn’t make any sense if there was no electricity so I took it out Yes it is very sad but that’s the way war isÂ

Forlorn and a very moving ending Greg and these two young lovers may have lost out on this earthly realm but dare say they and their love for each other carries on in in that better and more peaceful realm upstairs.Â
An an enthralling write from beginning to end just keeping one wondering what is going to occur next after each scene.
Thanks Greg and for delivering a sad yet moving piece. and also something off the beaten track from you also.
