Snow White

MaggieMoo and PeterJ.



It was the same sight almost every Friday afternoon

The girl in uniform cycled along the Thames

towards the bunker where her duties lay.

She left her cycle, lopsided against a large grey boulder

her heart sank as she approached a lit lamppost

Her trepidation increased because she knew this was the very lamppost

Where she met Dave some months ago

Where was he? She wondered as she gazed up at the teasing lamp

Since that unexpected meeting,

Dave had always been here to walk her to the bunker.

Julie was worried. This Friday was to be special.

It was the beginning of a rare long weekend

Was he injured at the front line?

Or could he be having second thoughts about her?

He had not mentioned whether he was due to depart for Egypt

Excepting that he knew time was close.

He had confided that much, so now she had to know

Her heart skipped a beat as she heard footsteps

Was she hearing things, or could it be her one true love?

Her face beamed when she saw the strong manly features of Dave

Emerge under their special lamp.

Tears welt in her eyes with delight

She threw her trusting arms around his neck.
