I sit by her bed in the hospital
Watching her in her troubled sleep,
I sit there and wonder,
Will she ever awake.
I think back,
Back to those times
When walking the Dales.
The beauty all around us
As we walk up those hills.
I think of that time,
That time when we went from Cray
And walked up Buckden Pike.
Near the top we saw it,
Saw the remembrance mound,
With the fox looking at us,
The fox who saved the airman’s life.
As we reached the top we were stunned,
Stunned at the view,
Still in my mind this day.
Nature’s glory shone,
Shone down the vale.
That beauty enhanced by her,
My loved one,
My loved one by my side,
As she has been all my life.
I sit by her bed in the hospital
Watching her in her troubled sleep,
I sit there and wonder,
Will she ever awake.
