I’m just waiting here by the sea,
For you my love to return to me.
Just writing your name in
the sand,
And waiting for you, my special man.
On
that day, I watched you sail away,
Now for your safe return I
must pray.
Your fight is for freedom in a desert land,
Our
country’s call was your command.
Your voice calls to
me from a sea breeze.
In that tone me, you often have teased.
Last night I saw your face in the moon,
My love I wish you to
come home soon.
I know there are some who won’t
return,
For their families I have much concern.
They
willingly pay the price you see,
They believe that all people
should be free.
I hope your task won’t take very
long.
But America’s convictions are very strong.
I know God
will show our soldiers the way,
So I can celebrate your safe
return one day.
For now I’ll sit here dreaming of
you,
While reading one of your letters, or two.
Then I will
walk again by the shore,
Searching the sea for your ship once
more.
It’s sunset now this day will soon end,
I’m
now going to write a letter to send.
Telling you darling of my
everlasting love,
How you’re the man I’m so very proud
of.
Tomorrow when I awake again I’ll go,
Down to
the sea, along the shore I’ll stroll.
Dear, I shall do this every
day after day,
Until you sail home, my love, to forever
stay.

I
dedicate this poem to those waiting for a loved
One to return
from the war in Iraq. I pray your
love one will return home
safe.
