Dear Wife
Tilt

No my darling have no fear, I'll see you by and by, I trust in my =

Commander and my brothers in arms, the chaplain reassures us, that god =

Is on our side, and I will write to you every day, I will keep you =

Informed. Dear wife-I can feel your arms about my neck, life like-the =

Image of you crying at the gate. Dear wife-your photo is a sheild over =

My heart. My life-depends upon the memory of your face. We landed on the =

Shore today, no enemy in sight, we are strong and confident that our =

Training is complete, we set up camp and cleaned our guns and sang away =

The night, and yours by far the loveliest of all the pictures seen. I =

Can barely write today now things have gone awry, a man who was a friend =

To me is dead and many more, I had to do a dreadful thing to make it =

Back alive, why am I the only one to send back into war? So tell me dear =

The color of your eyes, I cannot remember the glimmer of your hair, you =

Were a guiding light emblazoned on my mind, but death has led me far =

Away and I don't seem to care. Dear god I am betrayed today, my brothers =

Are insane, our leaders have abandoned us and turned us loose to kill, =

They behave like animals and I behave the same, why should I try to =

Survive when I don't have the will? Dear wife the tempo of my death is =

Beating down, why hide? Relief awaits me I cannot escape, dear wife-your =

Photo is a dead thing to me now, my life-is wasted like the memory of =

Your face.
