Waiting For My Ship To Come In
By Paul Wilson

Chance of a lifetime on the line
sky’s the limit he said
Untold wealth our reward
dreams of riches dancing in my head

I’ll be there right on time
count me in on your plan
Nothing can keep me from my goal
without a doubt I’m your man

Tossing and turning all night long
counting sheep was no use
Endless lines across the sky
tonight what’s the sandman’s excuse

Morning comes three hours early
five o’clock shadow well past nine
Hit the floor running
I’m already three hours behind

No time for breakfast this morning
hot coffee will have to wait
Today will change my life forever
come hell or high water I can’t be late

Traffic moving at snails pace
all the lights stuck on red
Come on people …get a move on it
if I miss this ship I’m dead

I missed the proverbial ship again today
an unexpected stop I had to make
Nature was calling loud and strong
I had to take a bathroom break

Oh well another chance down the pipe’s
maybe tomorrow I’ll try again
I’ll be ready this time for sure
waiting for my ship to come in

Enjoyed the read Paul.
Had me anxious throughout the whole read.
