Melanie complacently took the needle and threaded its piece into the blanket she was working on. It would be for Ashley he said he was very cold on those battlefields. Yet at the same time she began humming something it was sweet yet ghostly and saddening to her
There'll be greener pastures
Across that border line
We'll see new horizons my darlin'
Far beyond the great divide
She had hummed this song every time she went to the sewing circles it gave her a sense of hope now that the south was getting weaker. That no matter the outcome she and Ashley would be alive and together. Far beyond this horrid divide that separated them.
Polls of clear blue water
Starlight in the sky
You'll be mine forever, my darlin
Far beyond the great divide
As she hummed images of her and Ashley's life to together flashed before her eyes. Along with images she hoped would come true like them and a baby at twelve oaks alone to contemplate their thoughts and raise children. Yet somehow Melanie knew these were only hopes but she could still dream. And dream she would.
Somewhere in the distance
Northern lights will shine
You'll be there beside me
My darlin far beyond the great divide
They would escape far away where there was no great divide she thought. Where we can have the life we wanted. Yes that's what we would do. Yes her and Ashley they would be safe far beyond the great divide.
You'll be mine forever my darlin far beyond the great divide.
Yes far from it.
