Empty Sea

And once again I stand here,

Out here on the dockside.

I tell myself it's pointless,

But from fear I cannot hide.

…

My grandchildren, I miss you so,

So far away from me.

Outset feels barren,

As empty as the sea.

…

A bitter wind has long been blowing,

You're all I've left to lose.

But I must be strong, I must endure,

This trial I must see through.
