Under a Full Moon Sky

She sits on the jetty Under a full moon sky Wondering why Just wondering why Her lover, her man Has been lost at war Why was he there What was he fighting for In a distant place So far from their home He was taken from her In her mind she combs Can she face tonight Will she bear tomorrow Her heart's been wrenched In heartfelt sorrow As she sits on the jetty Under a full moon sky To all the others who have lost Will they ever wonder why? http://www.thehighlanderspoems.com/loss-3.php
