Nov 2024
In the cold air of a winters morn
She stood at the docks waiting for him to come home
As the rain kissed her face her makeup misplaced
And skin now becoming pale
In the distance she could see the ship sailing with ease
Her heart begins to gather time

Tears start to flow mixed with the cold
And her cheeks feel the sting of her pride

Gathered around amongst the crowd
The sounds of many hearts cry
For soon they’ll be near
The men who once feared
The war that took them away

Like moths to a flame
She knew that one day
The love of her soul would he would claim

And now the rain falls so hard
Without any remorse
As the ship starts to berth once more

With tissues in hand she wipes away the tears and the cold
His cold hands grip the rail as he stands
Looking for the love now waiting for him on the dock
Together they shall be
In the house by the sea
No more wars to take him away
