Without tone of voice,
the one you remember,
soft, sweet, laughing,

Still, my words will reach,
finding you, today, tomorrow,
if and when you come across them,

Know, the truth they contain,
heavy with thought and sincerity,
with value and meaning,

many days have passed,
long hard days without you,
I still stand, waiting,

     

For your return from the sea,
you in your little boat,
across the big wide world,


Someday when your seasick,
from being tossed to and fro,
you will return to me,

As always, my light will glow,
maybe dim, but still glowing,
through the dense fog,

Allowing you to see,
where you can find your rest,
safe in the arms of my love.
