Woman stares out the window
Her heart beats faster
Her hands tremble with joy
She knows he will come

Woman holding his hope
He left to do his purpose
She never said “Don’t leave”
Her desire is his happiness

Woman is selfless
She faithfully waits
Her sadness is not hidden
And brings it on his journey

Man, you did not leave
But went to your calling
Her love will keep you strong
Your courage is from her

You fought with her love
You stood with her tears
Her hope is your shield
Her faith is your sword
