Waiting for night to turn into light
Spending the day in a wholesome way
But waiting
For the phone to ring
For the mail carrier to bring
Good news and reviews.
Patiently waiting
For fun in the sun
For rain on the plain
For a lass to say yes.
Constantly waiting
For dinner to gain weight or be thinner
To grow up or again be a pup.
Anxiously waiting
To come home from the fighting
War is hell no matter what we think we are righting
To hear good news from the doctor
Or waiting for death.
We spend most of our lives waiting
What else can we do?
We can read while waiting
We can write profoundly
We can meditate and pray
Or just be still and at peace.
