Last Letter from a Soldier in Iraq

My dear, my dear, in Christ we'll wed in Bayamon; Where waterfalls and rainless bows are blue. We'll dip our souls while bathing, shame unknown. Let's fall in love for love in fall is due.

The sun my dear, will lead us to the moon. Waterfalls shall turn crystal blue from clear. In Bayamon, parrandas sing a tune at festivals of dance and love each year.

Condado Sands are calling us. We must keep trust we’ll soon be alone.

So, let us lay, and play and lust... in Bayamon.

Espero cada dia

Que tu estes en mi vida

Lo unico que puedo decir es que

Te Quiero como esposa.
