A card from home
Send me a card from home
My dear
One that is rosy and red
A chocolate box picture
Of a chocolate box dream
Where the flowers still grow
And no one is dead
Send me news of my brother
George
And my mum and dad
How’s the boy doing?
Does he ask after me?
And his sister Annie
How’s she
Send me a card for Christmas
My love
Send one Full of good cheer
Remind me of home
The streets, the chimneys
And our hearth
Warm bed
And a bottle of beer
Send me a card my darling
Let me know that you are still keen
That you are still there
That you are alright
And that you still care

A poignant piece Martin, I felt a war connection espiecially with mention of the flowers, we have just covered Pete Seegers 'where have all the flowers gone' as our Bard Company group.
Lovely words and nice sentiments, thanks Jeff
