Poem

This poem was included in one of Bud's letters home. I'm not sure who wrote it, but it was changed to fit Bud's situation so I know he wasn't the author. There were other poems included but they were less than G rated so I will just share this one! (The words in parentheses are what Bud included to make it his own.)

A Soldier's Confession (I mean this sweet)

When I get back to the one I love,

I swear by God above,

That I'll never gripe and never complain,

About the little things that I fail to gain.

A much needed lesson has been taught to me,

And I've learned how pretty some things could be.

The love of a wife so wonderful as you,

Is the most precious thing that I ever knew.

And a home with all its comforts and joys,

And maybe a family, say a couple of boys. (1 girl and 1 boy, HA)

If I have just these my cup will be full,

And I'll have the world on a down hill pull.

If some little thing jerks me and starts me to rage,

Just haul out a club and this little page.

Just whack me across the seat of my pants,

And remind me of the days that I spent in France. (Germany)
