Analysis of A Promise To Ashley
John Knapp 3rd. 1948 (Pa.)
A promise made across the sea. To a little girl, That I could not see. a chance to hold you, was not to be. Like a Desert Storm, you were taken from me. I made you a promise, that I'd bring you home. So you could be with me, and not all alone I promised to find you, and the promise I kept. But letting you go, is hard to except. The unanswered question, did this have to be. Still to this day, seems to haunt me. I still make this promise, and this promise I'll keep Some time you and Grand pa, are going to meet.
