Found
Another Thursday rolls around
and she walks to the village green
slowly
She will stand by the old oak tree
Sure that today he will be there
waiting
This her new weekly ritual
A pilgrimage to her lost love
Longing
Two years had passed since he left her
to fight in an overseas war
Hoopla
He was a marine proud and true
and a hero in her young eyes
Glory
Missing in action they told her
Sorry but we cannot do more
Useless
She refused to give up her hope
Although everyone would rib her
Kindly
As always her heart did a skip
But today he was standing there
Oorah!
