Waiting and Wishing
There are many who wait for their ships to come in
For their ships to come in from the sea.
This question they ask as they watch and wait:
Will a ship come home to me?
The answer comes swift from a voyager old
A voyager weathered and gray:
Have you sent forth a craft with a cargo friend?
A craft that might come in today?
There are many who long for their ships to come in
That they from their cares may be free;
But how could a ship come home to them
When they’ve sent no craft to sea?
