The Kiss of V-J Day in Times Square
There are people walking in the street
A checkered pattern of black and white
Trying carefully to be discrete
In watching the happy victory sight
A man of honor and happiness too
Stood to the right of the couple in grey
And what appeared to be out of the blue
A kiss began in the joy of VJ
A woman of grey stood behind the couple
Mouth open wide and eyes full of wonder
She could all but stop being quite cheerful
Though stuck in a frame without bright color
Even though this picture is very old
It speaks of the brave, the few, the bold
