My Master Leaves for War
By Private Richard Winfield
Scott Field, Ill
"There goes the boss. Gosh, I don't know
why, but I feel as though I'd like to die. He found me
shivering, cold and alone; he took me in--gave me a home. I know that
something is amiss, look at the tears of Mom and Sis. Hey, there's his
girl--she's crying, too; I wish there was something I could do. We
didn't go on our morning walk; I noticed a catch when he started to talk.
He used to smile when I'd wag my tail, but even these clowning gestures
fail. There must be something on his mind. Look how he stopped
and stared behind at Mom and Sis--his girl and me. Whatever the
trouble be? He's on the train; he's looking still. Don't worry,
boss --I'll guard them till you return. I'll do my best till you come
home. So long, boss!" |
