At times I sit alone thinking of love and how easily I fell,

My heart felt as though I had been put under a love spell,

I thought of you every moment of the day and before I slept,

Each night I prayed for you and truthfully said I also wept,

The extreme loneliness I felt when drafted and forced to war,

Was truly a test of my manhood and the girl I loved before,

It must be said she changed me to be a much better man,

Prior to the first kiss I had already vowed to be the best I can,

At night when I held my weapon tight I remembered her appeal,

The tenderness of her flesh next to me and soft was her feel,

Every kiss became a kiss of passion as fire grew deep inside,

Never did a doubt exist for in my heart love truly did reside,

I love you Patti, I love you so, my heart has had to expand,

Little girl of evening star I exist if only to caress your hand,

Pain endured in the enemy’s hands was worth it to see you,

Unconscious is unfavorable sleep yet you’d be there so true,

To see you was worth the price if only to be where you dwell,

My unconscious state left little thought perhaps easier I fell?

The fall was controlled I’d say and was wonderful all the way,

And I’ve loved you for eternities March, each and every day,

Hand in hand I’ve marched through time with no doubt in tow,

Love filled my heart to maximum fill and I felt my love grow,

And now as time flows swiftly by I fall in love again each day,

I see you in my mind and fall in love again in every little way,

The beauty of your smile especially when engaged with me,

Allows me to feel as though I’m special, even if temporarily,

Look at me I think to everyone, I’m with this gorgeous girl,

I must be a handsome man, my hair has a Superman curl,

I’ve climbed into the air as my feet no longer touch floor,

Truthfully said my love for you actually makes me soar,

I’ve flown through time and space with one intention to do,

To lightly touch down next to you and whisper, I so love you!

The end, for Patti by Pat

I love you little girl!
