Soldier Blue

Skies of azure blue and bold Portend a future still untold Hope the venture still to seek And praying that my soul He'll keep Walking sure this uncut trail Never feeling quite so frail Yet with a strong intrepid heart Pledge my soul this path to chart J.W.Boswell Copyright 2015

I walk the fence each day and see The long haired playful pooch And as I say hello to her I always blow a smooch She runs the fence and hops upon Her hind legs as we play Until I reached across the fence One cold December day Her teeth so hard and long and sharp Sank deep into my hand The playfulness she'd shown me once I must misunderstand What happened to my playful girl So lovely to befriend The one I reached to pet that day And seemed to bad offend I'll never know the reason why I'll keep upon my way Why pet the dog that bites my hand A second time I say J.W.

When first we met I lost my heart To her while in that bar A drink and dance what happiness I thought I'd found my star Then circumstance took us apart And life got in our way I always hoped to find again That girl that wouldn't stay Then once again I found her there And once again found love Two hearts as one under the sun And blessed by God above But bitter tears prevailed one night The She Wolf came within And left us both with broken hearts With her tale of shame and sin Now the last of this is not yet wrought The tale of love unsure For we do love each other still Despite the saboteur Her name will be upon my lips Even with my dying breath And I shall love her all my days Until we part in death J.
