day trip and we were served a fine

To My Valentine

Just a year ago today
I sent you a kiss from France.
Yes, the thing arrived in May --
That was just a circumstance.
Now the mails are working better,
Soldiers drilling stiff as starch,
And you may receive this letter
(And the sender) late in March.

Well dearest, I'm keeping
a heart full of love for you and
think of you all day. I'm feeling fine
and hope my sweetheart is the same.
So confine all the California sunshine
in your soul and prepare for
winder weather, for I'm coming
