My Precious Beloved!

By L. Don Oliver

Oh! my precious beloved,

Together again we shall ____;

Where shade covers the grass,

Beneath our Old Oak ________;

We will lie there together,

And gaze up at the ___;

Build cloud castles in the air,

And watch the world go __;

Plucking the petals from a flower,

"She loves me, she loves me ___";

Some will say that is passe,

But, to me it still means a ___;

I'll recite a tender poem.

An you will act a little ___;

With our aging hands entwined,

We will revisit all our ___;

And try to hold back the _____;

Then we will embrace each other,

As we have through all the _____;

We will not allow our yesterdays,

To become but only a ______;

For there is much in life to come.

So many new things yet to ___;

Glory of War!

By L. Don Oliver

The cannon roars,

A rifle shot;

A soldier dies,

All for nought;

The bell rings,

On Village Square;

There's no rejoicing,

That's abiding there;

Six gun salute,

A trumpet sounds;

Another soldier buried,

In hallowed grounds;

A mother cries,

Her child gone;

She returns to,

An empty home;

That's the moral,

End of story,

In any war,

There's no glory;
