A Sentinel:
I stand my vigilant watch
A sentinel every day
Silently waiting for relief
Silently I stay
Always watching
Always wondering
When will it all end?
No relief to send
When will my time wane?
When can I recline?
To close my eyes
My vital obligations end
I stand my vigilant watch
A sentinal every day
Silently waiting for relief
Silently I stay
Still wondering
Still searching
Forever awaiting my relief
But in the end so very short
So very, very brief
