Mary and Billy - True Love

Mary's love for Billy burns bright,

Like a star in the darkest night.

She dreams of the day they'll be wed,

Of the life they'll build, of the love they'll spread.

But Billy has joined the army, it seems,

And Mary is left alone with her dreams.

She waits and she waits, her heart full of hope,

Praying that Billy will come home to elope.

Yet, news arrives that shatters her heart,

Billy has fallen in battle, torn apart.

Mary weeps and mourns, her heart heavy with grief,

Her love for Billy, a wound that won't heal, a pain without relief.

She remembers his smile, his touch, his kiss,

The sweet moments they shared, the love that they missed.

She wishes for just one more chance to say,

"I love you, Billy, for forever and a day."

In her heart, Mary knows that Billy's love was true,

And though he is gone, her love for him will renew.

For she will always cherish the memories they made,

And the love they shared, that will never fade.

So she stands, strong and proud,

Though her heart is broken, her love is loud.

For Mary will always love Billy,

Her heart, forever his, her love, unwavering and silly.
