This song came about when I heard my grandmother tell about how she and grandpa met and how he died in the war. They had 12 children, the youngest being just an infant when he passed away. She never remarried, saying, "he's waiting for me now, as I waited for him for so many years." <3 <3
I Will Wait For You Vs1. I've been searching this long, lonesome time To find the One who will forever be mine Even though we haven't met My heart is steady and my mind is set To our future love, I'll stay true Yess, I will wait for you. Chorus:* I'll be faithful, I'll be true You're the only one for me and I'm yours too Even though my heart aches And I want you every single day I will wait for you Vs2. When you left to serve the country we both love I cried and prayed for a sign from above To tell me you would make it home Or on foreign soil, die alone But no signs say you'll make it through But I'll pray everyday that you do... And I will wait for you. Chorus* Vs.3. She has always been there for me She's been the glue to our family All these years she's waited so patiently Although I tried to stay, I had to go God called me to my home Like Him, she gave me a love I didn't earn So now, darlin', it's my turn... I will wait for you. Chorus*

Vietnam War...approx.1965 when he passed. Yes, she was alone romantically, but she always said her children and grandchildren were all she needed. My mom's mom... thank you for the compliment and all of your feedback!! Xo

You're quite a lyric writer. I've written some songs too. When you get it chance listen to my song Mary Rogers. I narrated it using the voice of one of my created characters. My real voice can be heard on my poem - Life is a song . I also have a country western song titled The Spirit, The water, and the blood. Need to repost one day. Hey, do you sing?

Ooo! Can't wait to find those gems! I didn't know you did voices! I do sing... not sure how good but I used to sing in church and still do with my family. I play the ukulele too. So glad you liked my song! Xoxo
