THAT LONELY PLACE

She sits at the window, looks at the sky
The moon glows white, she wonders how,
How does that same moon look to him,
From where he too is watching right now?

They know what will happen, should he fail.
The world relies on what he must do.
Without him now there would be no hope,
But back at home, she needs him too.

She sits at the window, looks at the sky.
She gazes far out into space.
The distance hurts her, where is he now?
But his heart is with her in that lonely place.
