The days were unending as were the nights,
She waited and waited and waited,
But there seemed no hope in sight…

The nights were charmless,
She waited without closing her eyes,
But there seemed no light in the darkness...

The sea was growling,
She was waiting more and more,
But there was no ship on the ocean waves crawling...

The surrounding was full of hush,
She was still waiting,
But there was no shadow in the grass....

Finally there was a hope at sea,
There was a belief even behind the darkest clouds,
The wait was over,
And someone special made her happier than ever,
The waiting patience finally got it's reward.
