The Lady With the Lantern

On a rocky crop Looking out to sea A lady in waiting In the hope she will see Her true love Has been away so long Out at sea Where the fishing is strong The calm sea's Indicate none No horizon movement For her loved one Her dedication On this rocky crop Her love abounds Which will never stop Day after day In hope He returns The Lady with the Lantern http://www.thehighlanderspoems.com/life2.php

This is a beautiful tribute to the statue that stands at St. Augustine,Fla. It is also the same for all the women that have and continue to watch and wait for their men. Sara
