A Seafarer wife's dilemma



I watch her leave with tears in my eyes.
for in that journey she takes the love of my life..
It's a vicious cycle that I have to endure,
With each day passing.. the sadness is a torture
 

So tell me my darling, do you feel the same? 
I am filled with fears, every time you go away,
What if someone's there, ready to take my place?
Will you be true to your promise? it's a guessing game..


Don't think that I never had temptations.. but, I remain to be true
Is it wrong for me to expect the same from you?
Always remember.. We are a family, and we're counting on you..
And until then, as she leaves the shore with you..
I wish nothing but clear skies and calm seas for you to sail on to...

                                                                    ( In it writes...)

                                                            Lost at sea, lost at sea
                                                            Or in the evening tide
                                                            We loved you, we miss you
                                                            May God be with you abide.





   The "Waiting on Shore" monument depicts a woman holding her arms out to sea, you can almost feel her sadness and anguish, longing and waiting for the love of her life's safe return as she looks out at sea.
