Impression sketch
of a woman's end of war wish - by Jamie.
A lady that had died in Marseilles
Had placed a stipulation in her
will
Stated in her testament was wish
That if she died
before hostilities
End that her body was to rest
Initially in the family vault – once
War ended that she would be
Interned in the field of final
Victory – after this that her wish
That she would give her whole
Fortune to the town that bore
Victory - the wonder is was
this
Strange wish ever granted?

Jamie Mann.
