I Love My Sailor
by: Rosemary Olenski

I love a sailor
with all my heart
I see him almost never;
we are always apart.
We may no be together,
but love does not give in.
To let something like this go
would be such a sin.
He is courageous and
he is a man,
protecting his country
as best as he can.
The last time I was him?
Several months past.
But I feel his love for me
and I know it will last.
Perhaps there will be peace;
perhaps there will not.
I hold on to hope;
it's all that I've got.
My love for him grows.
It's stronger each day.
The distance between us
can't hold it at bay.
He calls;
I write.
We both hold on
with all our might.
I cry often,
I will not lie.
Sometimes smiling is hard,
but I sure do try.
I love
I hope
I dream
I cope.
His heart is strong;
his feelings are true.
He loves me and
I love him too.
Yes, I love a sailor
and though we're apart,
we're always together-
together at heart!
