Talk with Waiting Husband rock

- Go home oh you!
Feeling of muster penetrated into every door leaf
Why do you still stand in the rain-wind
Solitary mid cloud and sky?

- So where do I put words
Promised with the man I long for him?

- That man never come back any more
How were some thousand years very transient?
Country have experienced hundred battles of war
Loses, obtains great change…

- All human knew my body become rock
But haven’t known I harden into rock belief
Harden into rock my solitary
And the whole waiting time!

- But you can not wait any longer
Day that man come back
Nobody can know as I knew that thing
Nobody can know as I knew sufferings of
The wife wait her husband…

I become rock wait million times of waiting
For wives of all generations escape from waiting and hope.
