Helen's Corner - Book I

A Wish

If I could but have one wish,
         You can be sure it would be this
That our love would long endure,
         That you'd be mine and I'd be yours.

But since this wish I cannot hold
         In days gone by when I am old,
I'll think of you and my thoughts will tower,
         Above the embers of my lonely hours.

                             Dedicated to A.K.

Circa 1940-1942
