Crying With Private Malone
By BetaWolfinVA
My wife and i were
going to the grocery
when her radio
just
changed to a new station
quite without being told to
.
her
jeep commander
limited two thousand six
must have crossed wires
many times over past years
we have had it in the shop
.
her telling me this
has been happening over
the past week has
brought
Riding
With Private Malone
sung by David
Ball to mind
.
playing her the song,
as usual, makes
me cry
baffled, she asks why.
she has lived with me for years
she does not know the answer?
.
simple song about
one
that gave all in Vietnam
leaving a note for
his cars next owner
if he
did not make it home from there
.
as i am crying
my wife puts her hand in mine
i wish i loved her
as much as
she does deserve
she knows i still love raven

I guess its a good thing that the spell checker and the link too screwed up, its a poem now and not prose.Comments on "Crying With Private Malone"

Some songs can affect us like that and it might be something unexplainable that was unique to the first time we heard it play, cheers HH!
