Do you love me and has your heart always held me dear,<\/span><\/p>\n

Am I the one you thought of when you were draped in fear?<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

After our hearts first touched and I told you I’d return some day,<\/span><\/p>\n

Did you dream of that day and wish I’d take you in a sexual way,<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Was it that I excited your loins as well as brought your heart to beat,<\/span><\/p>\n

Or was it thoughts of golden coins and the rewards you’d reap,<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Could it be you just thought of me in ways of delight and more,<\/span><\/p>\n

The answer inside my traveled heart is simple, it’s called amour,<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

My eyes saw love in such a simplistic way, I guess, you’re the one I adore,<\/span><\/p>\n

I understand I do, how could he of such meager means expect an ounce more,<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I am grateful beyond spoken word to have what I am allowed to hold,<\/span><\/p>\n

Scarlet sunsets break through my water-filled eyelids to show the gold,<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The globe of our sun burst through the tears bringing a kaleidoscope of starburst,<\/span><\/p>\n

And for a moment I felt relief as if my heart had quenched its thirst,<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The pain shows in my anthem of love I’ve written in rhymes for you,<\/span><\/p>\n

I have written the truth, Patti, I garner strength to carry on it’s true,<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

As I returned from across the sea I heard Angel’s trumpets blare,<\/span><\/p>\n

I raised my weary head from the cot to see and I saw an angel there,<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

‘Tis true, I swear, from tears to the north of loneliness I felt the loneliness leave,<\/span><\/p>\n

Perhaps it was love brought by you that was given my soul a needed reprieve,<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

It called out in anguish as the wind swept clean the soiled green of earth,<\/span><\/p>\n

That I may touch the earth of my homeland and pray for our rebirth,<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

How the medic knew, I wonder, at that exact moment he gave me your photograph,<\/span><\/p>\n

To hold near my heart during the anguish of rejection given by America’s citizen staff,<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I needed it so, to hold near my anguished heart because somehow he just knew,<\/span><\/p>\n

To be predestined to love someone is rare yet I was born to love only you,<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Heaven is there to accept the holy souls of the departed few allowed to deploy,<\/span><\/p>\n

The feeling in my heart is that we will together be there to share eternity’s joy,<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

And I held close your picture as I cringed inside yet I clung to the belief of predetermined love,<\/span><\/p>\n

The belief that we were predestined to be, to be together as determined by our Lord above.<\/span><\/p>\n

The end, I love you Patti<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
