my girlie is enjoying her work,
as that is really the only kind
of job to have, one that
you really enjoy preforming.

I have planted here a great big
kiss for [large open space here] my sweetheart,
my girl of the golden West.
It's for you, my own,
from far away Germany,
from your lover who is patiently
waiting for the opportunity to
be with you again.

From your lover
