Love

The wonderful love of a beautiful maid,
The love of a staunch, true man,
The love of a baby unafraid,
Have existed since time began.


But the greatest of loves,
The quintessence of love,
Even greater than that of a mother,
Is the tender, passionate, infinite love,
Of one drunken Marine for another.
