A boiling, hot summers day was when I saw her
she had lovely, straight, blonde hair
i couldn`t help but gaze a stare
her beautiful blue eyes lit up brightly in the sun
...

I will soon be sadly departing away from home
to see many places, faces, Paris maybe even Rome
the age of sweet 16... I`ll be tearfully all alone
marching to the Royal Navy...nervously on my own
...

When facing your horrible, nervous, tense fears,
clench the emotion, don`t grab those dreadfull tears.
Take a deep breath, stand straight, stay strong,
keep your head up, don`t encounter the wrong.
...

All alone in the pitch, black, frightening dark,
hearing fade, quiet whispers, back starts to ark,
walking quicker and faster, heart starts pumping,
with the knees and arms fail to stop thumping.
...

Reading a Dear John with blurry, red eyes,
letters swimming, with shock 'n' surprise,
pains in my head right down to my toes,
shaking in my now sweating, wet clothes.
