She sits, patiently, And waits Alone. It seems so long Since she held him close, And now, he is so far away. The telephone rings. She jumps up. Her heart begins to thump. News of him? Yes. Yet another delay. But he will be back One day soon. Until then, She must lie awake, alone With memories of happy days gone by; Dreams of those yet to come. Yes. Someday soon He will come back.
