The headline will read, “The War is Over”.
Time has stopped. The world frozen, captured in
A picture that will front the newspapers.
Everyone relieved, smiling, feeling hope.
The sailors have been celebrating since
They heard the news that they would be home soon.
Beer and whiskey, stories and memories,
All shared on the voyage home, Finally.
The nurses have just finished their long shift.
They heard the news soldiers would be home soon.
Wine and tall drinks, hopefulness and hope
For all those finally on their voyages home.
The sailors drunk and happy crowd the streets,
Coming home for a big heroes welcome.
Giddy with excitement, some booze, and relief.
The city never looked so beautiful.
The nurses drunk and happy crowd the streets,
Welcoming their heroes with open arms.
Giddy with excitement, some booze, and relief.
The city never looked so beautiful.
Emotions were high as were the spirits.
The sailor saw the nurse for the first time,
They’ve never met, talked, joked, seen each other.
It didn’t matter, it’s a special day.
Before she knew what happened she is kissed.
A kiss that will be exposed to millions.
Sailor with passion, nurse with apathy.
A meaningless kiss to one, with so much
Meaning and symbolism to others.
The headline will read, “The War is Over”.
