"Mama," she said sobbing,
"my eyes are wet
and I'm looking out of the window
for you to return home."
She sobs some more.
I stifle my sobs
tears cascading ceaselessly.
"Baby,I'll come home,
I'll come home soon,"
is all I say
for sorrow has drowned my words.
A year has gone by.
My little girl has grown
she smiles and laughs
and plays without me.
But when I close my eyes
I see her eyes are wet
and she is looking out of the window
for me to return home.
I sob ceaselessly.
