The Day Love Comes

Beneath the light of the moon
There were two
There was the innocence of youth
Both were scared and unprepared
‘What to say?”
As if it mattered anyway
Knowing they had only two more days
He fought to stay
She turned away
Now she waits for the day of his return
Now she prays and takes the time to learn
How to stay and wait ‘til it’s her turn
Now he goes to share light with the world
And she knows it’s a cause worth fighting for
The love just grows ‘til it can’t grow anymore
So they both wait, anticipate,
Endlessly pray until the day.
The day when love comes home.
