on the horizon

On the horizon I watch
waiting to see what will arise today
Will it be the majestic glow of the rising sun
Which would only cast a glimmer of hope upon my
Darkened heart?
Will it be  the white sails I long to see,
Signifying that the Lord's breath upon the ocean
Brought you back to me?

On the horizon I watch
Day to day I leave when the setting sun
Steals my hopes once more
And return in the early morn when the sun
May joyfully announce your safe harbor

On the horizon I have watched
All these years, waiting, never failing

On the horizon I will continue to watch
Until that fateful day, if God permits
That you will be with me watching the malicious sun set
Knowing that no more will it steal our dreams
For that reason,
On the horizon I watch
