To
My Adeline
Nov 41 I am sending you this rhyme, To prove that my devotion Has stood the test of time. I love you now as dearly As the day I sailed away, From my heart I speak sincerely I adore you day by day. Your clear bright smile so winning Those brown eyes I adore, All my trust in you I’m pinning ‘Til I return once more. Rhyming lines to you is simple You are so sincere and kind, And
I idolise the dimple
On the girl I left behind. In fancy I am kissing Your dear sweet lips again, Half my heart I fear - is missing Only memories remain. Lovely memories – ever precious Now that we’re so far apart, Of a girlie so delicious As to steal quite half my heart. Once
again I take you walking With your warm hand tucked in mine, Hang it; there’s the Sergeant talking I am wanted up the line. Adeline I must be leaving And to Sentry post must go, But for you I’m ever grieving Where the Libyan dust storms blow. Written Blue Line – Tobruk While a Runner for Lt. D. Weir.
