Tis Funny Dear

Posted by Sue Jacintho On July 20, 2014

(written by my Grandpa)

‘Tis funny, dear

How life goes on

When we are far apart

For every time I leave you, dear

I always leave my heart

When the sky is cloudy up above

And all the world seems blue

I turn my thoughts to you and home

And then the light shines through

I never fear what lies ahead

No matter where I roam

For it’s just my empty body, dear

My heart’s with you at home

Pinup Girls

Posted by Sue Jacintho On July 20, 2014

(By my grandpa, Marine, hero, great man)

All the boys in service

Have a pinup girl or two

But Daddy, he has three of them –

There’s Dot and Pidge and Lou

Daddy wants his pinups

Just as much as other boys

And Daddy’s little pinups

Are his pride and greatest joys

He did not pin them on the wall

But put them in his heart

And he will always keep them there

And with them never part

Written by Carl G. Nelson, 1945
