Silently it lies waiting
it's just up around the bend
I can see it winding there
waiting to be traveled again.

My feet surely would grow wings
if I could believe that love was true
but alas, I have come to know better
for it has more than once, left me in the blue.

They say sometimes it can lead a soul to heaven
but these boots will never come to step inside of that gate,
because I no longer know if the cause is worth it
and if I still have the patience, and desire
to wait.


{with a nod for an inspire and a thank you to Susan and another friend.     }


The greatest beauty on earth, is
found in the hearts of those
who love....

wow do I know the road you are on...oh wait...I think I see you *waves to GS*

no really this is a great write, filled with longing and disappointment at the same time
but there is a hope there too...I think we walk this road in hopes that love will turn around and come back for us, instead of us having to take that step of faith *s*

love leaving is like a death of something, but the beginning of something new...and one never knows what tomorrow may bring...now...if I could only practice what I preach...hehehehe

Yes, I agree. I do think that this is the hardest thing by far that we must endure concerning many many things...  The wait. -Bob

Sometimes a slow walk allows deliberation in its patient trek to the possibility around that bend. To fly too it quickly is to disturb the peaceful order. Enjoyed
