Whisper in the Wind

Through the whisper of the wind and trees,

I could hear her through the seas—

The one I called my love.

When I parted the land of the free,

I promised to fight for thee.

I told her when I returned again,

I would say “I do” and never bend.

But the wind don’t wait, and time can bend,

Letters fade and roads don’t mend.

Hearts can break on a silent shore—

When love comes home, but not like before.

Still I hear her, soft and thin…

Like a whisper in the wind.

Through the years, through every day,

I dreamed she’d wait, I’d find a way.

But war has a cruel and bitter hand—

That steals more than it understands.

They said she cried when word arrived,

That I’d not made it out alive.

Our future torn before it could begin…

Left behind in the whisperin’ wind.

But the wind don’t wait, and time can bend,

Letters fade and roads don’t mend.

Hearts can break on a silent shore—

When love comes home, but not like before.

Still I hear her, soft and thin…

Like a whisper in the wind.

They carried me home with flags and song,

But the silence told me where I belong.

And even now, from far above,

I still feel the warmth of her love.

No, the wind don’t lie, and time won’t bend,

But I’ll hold her name until the end.

Even shadows know what we had before—

A love too strong for any war.

I still hear her, soft and thin…

Like a whisper in the wind.

Yes, I hear her… like a whisper in the wind.
