We sat along the water that windy night on the docks of San Francisco.We knew it would be our last night together for a long time.His ship was leaving at midnight with the tide.He was thrilled to be going,it was his first cruise aboard this new Lady.How were we to know it would be his last?
The Officers came the next day to tell me about John,but in my heart,I already knew.I could see their lips moving.but I didn't hear a word,my Mother was crying,I could see her tears.What's wrong,I screamed as my hearing was restored.
."Shot down" they said,missing in action,still looking.No I exclaimed,it will never be I could see Johnny in the arms of his mistress,at the bottom of the cold dark sea.
