seagulls are waking at the break of day
my eyes look out upon the vastness
the sea calls as it echoes across the bay

The moon has gone over the horizon
it brings tomorrow in a place far away
our plans for the future disappeared
our dreams sailed away yesterday

As I watch the whitecaps gently sway
your ship gets further out of sight
may God go with you where you go
always remember it is just and it is right

The waves wash upon the sandy shore
as I leave my footprints in the sand
I kneel and pray for your safe return
God please help my heart to understand

They say all is fair in love and in war
though fairness may not come to pass
the winds of change blow upon us
all I feel now is such emptiness, alas

The tides roll back and forth each day
back and forth each night it seems
our love for country is beyond reproach
return to me so I may follow my dreams [comments] => 4 [counter] => 185 [topic] => 69 [informant] => naturegirl [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => poets )
Missing You

our dreams sailed away yesterday

As I watch the whitecaps gently sway
