Yellow House

All of a long lonely day
She sat inside. She prayed.
The weather gave her hope.
“Surely,” she said,
Favouring her painful hip,
“Surely on a day like today
To as yellow a house as can be
He will find his way home
From the bountiful merciless sea.
Oh most surely he will come home to me.”
For a while the weather gave her hope.
