TURNING BACK THE TIME!!!
Did you ever wish you could turn back the clock,
Go back to the special time in years gone by?
When would it be?
that brings back a smile, or a wistful sign?
If I could stop the clock, go back in time,
nineteen fifty one would be my year.
Life was good, the future looked bright,
never was there a time so dear.
I was just a lowly soldier in a foreign land.
But it was a truly great and special place.
A beautiful city, none could ever compare.
Wonderful, exciting and full of grace.
Trieste was ajewel, a precious gem,
it was called the Pearl of the Adriatic Sea.
People were needy but they had hearts of gold.
They were friendly, loyal and sincere as could be.
There was Opicina for manoeuvers and drinking wine.
Dreher Beer was near, Sistiana Beach wasn't far.
The Hanger Club which brough us a hint of home.
Piccolo Mondo, Barcola, Miramare.
The Nationale, with movies for all to see.
food and drink were cheap, we had a ball.
The BORA, blew, but snowflakes were few.
The old town was tempting, but ""OFF LIMITS"" to all.
We were soldiers and we served with pride.
We set the example in demeanor and dress.
We represented America and our way of life.
We would strive for the best and nothing less.
What wonderful memories of joyful times,
adventures we'll remember for all our lives.
and who can forget those sweet charming girls?
so many would become our loving wives.
Yers, If I could, somehow, turn back the years,
that is where and when I would want to be.
TRIESTE in nineteen Hundred and Fifty One.
That time and place still means so much to me.
