Here I sit in this lonely place,
And all I can remember is the look on your face,
As you turned and left early that morn,
Leaving my heart shattered and torn.
 My mind seems to wander, all thoughts are of you.
Each dawn and each dusk, it all seems so blue.
And every minute, every hour of the day goes on,
But time is so meaningless since you've been gone.
 My arms long to hold you, to have you so near.
I need you to love me, to always be here.
My feet long to carry me right to your arms
So I can feel safe and nothing can harm.
 Please hurry home, back to my side.
My hearts full of love and it's opened wide.
I'm waiting, hoping, and praying, too
For a knock, the door opening, and there will stand you.

By,
Your Loving Wife

These were feelings experienced in the 1970's when my husband went out on Navy maneuvers in San Diego. It is the only saved "masterpiece ??" of my early writings and I just recently discovered it taped in a dog-eared, yellowed scrapbook ~Smile~ !!! I can still remember those two lonely weeks as a newlywed, my first time so far away from home and all alone !!! The day he was due home, I remember walking three blocks to the nearest grocery store to buy whatever special delights a Navy wife could afford. I recall struggling, with at least three grocery bags on the walk home, having to stop every few steps to shake out the arms, and then lovingly preparing some sort of special, surprise, welcome home dinner (and NO, it wasn't Hamburger Helper) ~Grin~ !!! Aaahhhh ... Young Love !!! Hmmmm, wonder if he remembers ???
Oh, and by the way, it was written on a piece of wide lined notebook paper ... soooooo romantic ... LOL !!!
