A Navy Wife's Prayer
by Sue Ellen Groseclose-Combs
How often we've stood on dark flight lines and
piers...
"I love you," "I'll miss you" whispered through
tears.
During long seperations, in peacetime, at war...
my nights filled with dreams of this man I adore.
With only my memories to hold close at night...
I live for the day God returns my sunlight.
Yes, life goes on when your loved one's at sea...
but the ache never leaves, the fear stays with me.
Dear Lord, I need your guidance, your love...
help me be brave, keep your watch from above.
Hold my dear one so safe in your heart and your
hand...
bring him home to his family...this hero...my man.
Of us, Lord, I pray he'll be filled with such
pride...
of how we carried on without him by our side.
Please, help time fly quickly and soon I will
hold...
the hand of the man whose eyes chase the cold.
Whose voice brings delight, whose touch eases
pain.
How will I ever say "Farewell" again?
With your help, dear God, I'll try to stay
strong...
and pray that his time here at home will be long.
Still, "I know that the Navy will need him," I
sigh...
but we'll face it together, Dear Lord, you and I.
I love you babe, you make us all so proud! Do ya
thing baby!
God Bless and we'll see you soon!
