'Little girl lost' is what we called her,
I still see her standing there
Amongst the tall trees, with shafts of light
Highlighting her blonde, curly hair.
By her side a huge Saint Bernard,
Her arm across his neck.
We knew he was there to lead her home,
To guard her and protect.
This picture that I now recall,
On a jigsaw puzzle lid,
Was a wartime gift from Dad to Mum,
In which a message was hid.
When the puzzle was completed,
She found to her surprise
Words written on some pieces,
Hidden from the censors' eyes.
Sent with love from behind the lines
So his young wife would know,
Just where he was in the theatre of war
And that he loved and missed her so.
Although this puzzle has been lost to us,
The message I see even now,
"Hope this reaches you for Christmas,
All my love from EMIRAU."
