It's a terrible day today, the sun is in hiding and the wind is being awkward
Although I am away from you right now, all I wish to do is pack up and come home
I have not heard your voice for 48 hours and to be honest I miss hearing you speak to me
This workplace I have been sent to is as barren as a Middle Eastern desert.
There is no telephone so therefore no Internet is available for me to make contact with you
Apart from this small hut that was provided for me, there are only miles and miles of desert
Also, there are no furry friends, flowers or trees of the forest to keep me company and make me smile
All I do throughout the day is think of my Orchid Lady and wonder how your illness is affecting you.
Tomorrow I shall be on my way back home to you and nothing will make me stay in these surroundings
It will be so homely to find myself walking up our garden path and be greeted by you at the front door
Then my happiness will again be complete and I shall throw my arms around the flower of my life -
- the flower that has no equal; no matter where throughout this world I could ever search.
Before I arrive home I am going to stop at our Wishing Well and wish for another dream
That wish will be for me to open the front door and find you standing there fit and well again
I will also stand upon our bridge in the hope your face will smile up at me from the placid water
My Orchid Lady I have missed you so much and know my life would be useless without you.
There may be those who would class me as childish or less than an adult, but I don't care at all
When we met that day in the Market Place so long ago now; I knew we were meant to meet each other again
Since then my life has been enhanced by your love and companionship in ways no one could ever fault
Sweetheart tomorrow can't come soon enough and I won't be happy again until we are back together.
