• As I stand here looking into your eyes,
    I know that I can’t say goodbye.
    You smile at me as If you know what I’m thinking,
    Then softy kiss my forehead.
    “I WILL come home to you, I swear it!”
    Were the last words that came from his lips,
    And as he boarded the ship, a slight pain in my heart,
    Told me this was the promise he would never be able to keep.
