Remi Ann

Remi, this is just for you.
This was written when I was serving in Germany. Remi and Ronnie were an item back then (now married for many, many years) and she was somewhat left to fend for herself when the gang (a.k.a. Ronnie, Eddie, Arnie, and me) were split apart due to a minor conflict in Vietnam at the time. Remi always wanted to frolic. This poem was written in an attempt to cheer her up when she was feeling lonely.


Remi Ann

Remember frolicking in the park
A little girl without a care
Remember having fun ‘til dark
Top down and driving everywhere

A little girl who brought a smile
To anyone who passed her by
She helped put happiness in style
And caught the eye of every guy

When you felt blue she was right there
To cheer you up and make you sing
With big green eyes and soft brown hair
Sweet Remi Ann’s a touch of Spring

One in a million she must be
Her glow is brighter than a star
Oh Remi Ann dear can’t you see
You’re perfect just the way you are
