This event happened
A long time ago
My aunt had a date
But he didn’t show
The years went by
Nothing new in store
Except that we had
The Second World War
Then my aunt
Soon after the war
Was in her kitchen
Like many times before
The doorbell rang
She answered the door
And there was the guy
Who stood her up years before
He came inside
And began to say
Why he came
To see her that day
“I just had to come
And talk to you
I was a fighter pilot
In World War ll”
“There were times I thought
I’d be shot down and was through
And that’s why I’m here
To talk to you”
“I then thought of that date”
He said with tears in his eyes
“I’ve come to you now
To apologize”
