A long wait It's been long, more than a year Joh

A long wait 

It's been long, more than a year
John left, promising to return soon
his words echoing, loud and clear 
Anne waits, morning, night and noon, 

A faint knock is heard on the door 
opening the door, she meets a stranger 
who drops a leather pouch on the floor 
it was John's who worked as a ranger, 

Anne's teardrops fell like rain all over
when he said, John fell off from a hill
John sent a letter in his pouch for her
the stranger left, Anne's cry grew shrill, 

I shall get well, to be with you on and on
in your arms always stays, rest of my life 
John wrote, as Anne's long wait went on
counting days and nights, his dear wife.
