And the sun still shine on clinging vines Where the roses like to grow? Will there be melody in the doorbell’s ring Will the peacock be on the dome? Will Mom’s tears and Dad’s firm grip Say “Son, you’re welcome home?” And the silent words I see in your eyes As we come face to face, Still aglow with love we knew that Time could not erase; Will they all seem to the same to me? These things that I adore? You may say No; Then tell me this— What are we fighting for? V . . . — Save MORE money, LIVES, and the NATION! Prevent INFLATION. An EXTRA $100 Bond will do it!
