Our lives don't always take the turns that we would like them to. At times it seems our hopes and dreams aren't destined to come true. My current road is rocky and the present isn't great for me.. All I can do is smile at you and pray that you will wait for me. Those temporary obligations I cannot dismiss Stand in the way and cause delay of sharing happiness. There are so many things right now that just won't correlate for me And it's so sad, with all we've had, to think you might not wait for me. Life is good with knuckleballs and throws a wicked curve. I'm at the plate but can't give you the home run you deserve. How sad that I have finally found the one and only mate for me Yet here I stand with hat in hand just hoping that you'll wait for me. You have your life - I know you do..It's knocking at your door. Adventure waits outside your gates and beckons to explore. Perhaps you'll find someone who's kind and it will be too late for me.. That is the chance I have to take by asking you to wait for me..... ( just a poetic endeavor, friends  ) |

Balladeer~ I'll wait for you 'til the cows come home - Then nevermore will I again roam. For then I know I'll have a place on the milking stool with a smile on my face ! When the cows come home from the meadow far - I'll wait for you no matter how late you are. Just moooooooove it quick don't be a *  yep * ...and you can forget that old hat trick !  *Loving your poeticism and everything else about you ! ~*Milk Maiden Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ noles1@totcon.com |

Are you sure it's not life imitating art...or the other way around? I think this is the first disclaimer [outside of jousting with LJA and Toe] that I've seen you do...hummm? either way, can I wait too? Karilea When you want to be loved, look within...KRJ |

Balladeer if I didn't know any better (and I don't) I'd say this is too true to life. Excellent writing here if you can make it that real! And MARK, I didn't buy it, but don't get rid of that SPAM ok? hehehe |

'Tis through your poems, softly speaking, how I can relate to you, And for another verse I dream, while lying here in wait for you. I loved the style you used here Balladeer, positively wonderful! What a beautiful flow! Best wishes, /Kit [This message has been edited by Kit McCallum (edited 09-30-2000).] |

LOL at Mark now there is quite the sensible thing to do. I'll wait with you, if there's room for two, for the girls balladeer does not choose. Balladeer, your verse is great! So i wish you luck while you wait, but i can't procrastinate a date for a shot at monogomy, 'cause it's not for me. why wait for a table for two, when you can have a room for three? seriously, i'm sure the "penelope virtue" is still appreciated today. just not in any of the gals i know good writing, good luck, and good night!< !signature--> Everyone's got their demons.

Balladeer I'd wait for you at the table or at the zoo Balladeer my love is true I'll wait until my nose turns blue I'd wait for you if I were a star, I'd wait for you to drive my car I'd wait for you to inspire my muse I'd wait for you for daily use. I'd wait for you but if I must accept from others, consolation of lust I'd wait for you through time and tide I'll wait, I'll wait though it sears my pride Why do I suddenly feel like Dr Seuss? Lovely poem. Be well Kethry "It is the image in the mind that links us to lost treasures; but it is the loss that shapes the image, gathers the flowers weaves the garland."- |

Great write Balladeer!....it is a story many can relate to...things don't go right and the whole world turns upside down in turmoil (individual's world). I enjoyed the read cause you made it plead....good stuff right on! |

Sir Balladeer I have to admit that I am not going to be waiting for you. My true love says he is not into sharing. If he ever runs away, I'd like to add my name to the waiting list. |
