\nYou use to tell me stories, that I’ve never forgot.
\nYou’d tell me about your war days.
\nHow it was hell on earth.
\nYou’d say it’d try a man to his core.
\nBut it’d reveal his worth.<\/p>\n
\nThe games you and your friends would play.
\nAnd all the trouble you’d get in to.
\nAll the things you would do.<\/p>\n
\nYou went through heartaches and good times.
\nYou found love and you found life.
\nMany happy years, that just seem to have flown by.<\/p>\n
\nI won’t let you down.
\nI’ll pass on what you taught me.
\nAnd keep your memory around.<\/p>\n
\nJust one more thing before I go.
\nI’ll love and miss you forever.
\nI just wanted you to know.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
