Enduring Love

Love, blossomed pink  on the fair skin of the sweet lass  awaiting; The young man, late  rushes in haste the violets crushed  in his hand; Arm in arm  they strolled along the promenade;  The girl and her soldier  Precious times together  in 1939. A broad smile, beamed  from the woman with a ring of violets  in her hair; The weary soldier  steps down from the train  returning her wave; Meeting eyes  they embraced oblivious to the crowd;  The bride to be and her groom A future life  to live together in 1945.
