I'm easily inspired either by personal experiences, things said in conversation, being given a challenge, or being moved or amused by something. Many genres.

Story behind the song
This is a song about the emptiness and despair that a war widow might feel, sung by Sarah White. Below is a very kind review which the song received from the webmaster of the International War Veterans' Poetry Archives (IWVPA), "Carol is to be congratulated on a beautiful and meaningful song... a song that epitomises the agony of the war that is fought by the loved ones of all those who are in harm's way for the cause of freedom and justice" Anthony W Pahl... http://iwvpa.net/index.php http://icross-canada.com/ww_congratu.php Thanks for reading this.... Carol.
Lyrics
I pray for answers as I look up to the sky, There are no answers, but I cant help asking why After all that we went through, He was the only man for me, I knew the time may come to lose my friend. But after all is said and done, He did his duties one by one, To the end, to the end. CHORUS He showed devotion to his life over there (where the bullets fly) Devotion to his wife over here (where I hid my fears inside) Devotion to the cause, Fight for whats right But where's the hand to wipe away my tears I search for answers as I look up to the sky, There are no answers…but I keep on asking why Words/Music © Carol Douglas

I realize that I left a message for this beautiful song, but couldn't resist again, it's been a long time for this treasure with Sarah's voice, beautiful Carol.

This is an absolutely beautiful song Carol. I've always loved Sarah's vocals and your lyrics and melodies always top notch, love those minor modes.
