Time so slowly passes and the days they wander on

Watch and wait and hope and pray, the clock ticks out their song

The dark of night embraces what can not be held by him

Morning light reminds of what has been lost again

Each step she takes a victory, each night a stories end

Counting squares upon a page, a thousand grains of sand

He has her in his heart, locked away protected and divine

Waves count out a measure, remind him of his life

Yet he holds true the promise of what he left behind

And on home shores she holds a gift…a love to last all time.
