I sat and watched them sweetly kissing,
Yearning for my True Love I've been missing.
I saw him gently touch her hand,
My heart aching for his touch
But knowing he's in another land.
I saw him slip something out of his pocket,
At first it looked like a gold locket.
But then I looked again;
He had given her a promise ring.
It made me cry; it filled my heart,
Because this has been my dream,
Right from the start–
For him to be my husband and I his wife.
To live together and share our life.
But we will be together soon.
Because my Lord has told me so.
