*************************** Hello from Cornwall on this day of Remembrance for all who have sacrificed their lives to protect their homelands......
Sent to a Sweetheart in Sussex, England
'Love from Frank'
Daddy, dear, we pray each night. And think so much of you. And you know, dear Daddy, don't you, That our love is ever true
'From Lilly with love to Daddy'
If I had wings, do you know what I would do? I'd fly o'er hills and valleys to you: But as I can't fly, I send through the post, This card to the one, I'm thinking of most

*********************************
Kathleen Mavourneen, the grey dawn is breaking. The Horn of the hunter is heard on the hill; The Lark from her light wing the bright dew is shaking. Kathleen Mavourneen, what slumbering still?
Oh! hast thou forgotten how soon we must sever? Oh! hast thou forgotten this day we must part? It may be for years and it may be forever, Oh! why art thou silent thou voice of my heart? It may be for years and it may be forever, Then why art thou silent, Kathleen Mavourneen?
Kathleen Mavourneen, awake from thy slumbers, The Blue Mountains glow in the sun's golden light. Ah! where is the spell that once hung on numbers? Arise in thy beauty, thou star of my night. Arise in thy beauty, thou star of my night
Mavourneem, Mavourneen, my sad tears are falling, To think that from Erin and thee I must part; It may be for years and it may be forever. Then why art thou silent, thou voice of my heart? Then why art thou silent, thou voice of my heart?
***********************
On a lighter note, humerous postcards were also sent. No matter what is sent to try us, humour makes us smile......
I wish you all peace and happiness on this day...Until next time, take care...Hugs Chrissy xx
As the Stars that shall be bright when we are dust, Moving in marches upon the Heavenly Plain; As the Stars that are Starry in the Time of our Darkness, to the end, to the end, they remain
