TOGETᕼEᏒ ᖴOᏒ ETEᏒᑎITY
My dearest love, my heart’s desire I write to you from fields of fire Where muskets roar and cannons boom And every day is filled with gloom These days are dark, and wet, and cold And death is always near, I’m told Yet through it all, my thoughts of you Give me strength to see this through I miss your kiss and warm embrace And the way a smile lights up your face But, for now, my heart finds peace In cherished thoughts and memories My brothers here, they stand in faith That soon this war will run its race For in our hearts, we know it well The end will come, and peace prevail The sun will set upon this war And peace and love will soon restore Our homes and lives and families — A future that was meant to be Until that day, my dearest love Please keep me close, and pray above For in your heart, I find my strength And hope to carry me the length But should I answer heaven’s bugle call And on these blood-stained fields I fall Weep not for me with heavy heart Our love not even death can part Should I befall a soldier’s fate I’ll wait for you at Heaven’s gate And there, alas, we’ll finally be Together for eternity With love always, Robert ⚔⚔⚔
