Gone Like The Wind
Gone Like The Wind
She sits under the redbud tree
that was their special place.
Tears fall on the pages as
she answers his last letter to her,
remembers their last day spent here.
Her heart is aching now
because she is left alone, but
she remembers how much
he loves her and all those
special moments they spent alone.
Hearing the loud roar of
nearby cannon fire, she
bows her head in prayer for
the war to end soon, for
his safe return to her loving arms.
She looks at their stately home,
ancient trees, formal gardens,
all this and a life of grace could
soon be gone like the wind.
Her prayer is that his life be spared.
