While sitting and knitting sometimes
And sigh for the one who has left me
perchance,
But the Lord in His goodness will help
keep me CHEEKY
To knit socks for my boy who is tight

Many socks have knit for the true and
the fearless:
May they bring them good luck when
told to advance,
While try to be happy, contented and
fearless
As knit for our boys who are fight-
ing in France.

In reply to the postscript, yes. They

We are not going to embarrass her
