I Will Wait For You for a very little child, impatience can be great "Daddy, come home soon, don't you dare be late…" for waiting is a quiet art, one that some can master but those that can't or won't, will forever await disaster then as a young wife, impatience can be grating "honey, come home soon" can be used as baiting for waiting is an art, one that some can master but those that can't, will forever await disaster as a mother of young teens, impatience can by trying "kids, come home safe," 'tho some are out there dying then waiting is an art, one that some can master but those that can't or won't, forever await disaster when a woman is losing a mate, impatience can be fearful "darling, I must let you go" the times they come so tearful waiting then becomes an art, one that some may master but those that won't or can't, will forever await disaster for the person who awaits a love, a love for all life long will know the moment when it's right, they will hear the song so waiting then becomes the art, that some alone will master and that person smiles, and waits, and never courts disaster so call me foolish if you will, but know I have patience flowing as when I see that one true love, you'll know my heart is glowing 01.19.01 |

LOL... anyway.. what i'm trying to say here is... great verse, girl... and i hope wll you're waiting for comes true because one of us needs to win... and for now? i'll just wait for the freaking alarm clock to go off tomorrow and hope i hear it..... WAIT~~~ !!! one more thing..... ((((hugs)))).... god bless you, ms smiley one... you bring sunshine into my life and that was something i was waiting for for a long time....... |

Hi SunShine, "Oh" I have had my share of waiting, and had to learn patience one of those harder things to grasp in life I would say, this is a beauty SunShine really enjoyed thank you.

Oh, Karilea, yes, indeed, this is a treasure! All should take heed to your wonderful words. Heck, even I will I must admit, even though I am in my early twenties, I've been very impatient with fate waiting for my soulmate to come along, but, maybe, now I'll wait, not forcing love, and i'll "know the moment when it's right, (and) hear the song."Take care, Melissa The beauty of poetry gives my soul wings to fly free within dreams |

Sunshine, such good advice, truly beautiful! A quarter of a century must pass, for the writer to understand what and why he writes. |

Sunshine, you all are going to convince me that rhyme is good, and that is a good thing. Gary well, I actually need less convincing than that. This one could be studied. |

What a hard problem to conquer! But it can be done, one has to focus on the reasons for needing to be patient.......wonderful trip through the average person's life Karilea... I like this verse especially! for the person who awaits a love, a love for all life long will know the moment when it's right, they will hear the song so waiting then becomes the art, that some alone will master and that person smiles, and waits, and never courts disaster The poet is like a cocoon; in him the caterpillar of the past finds rest, and from him the butterfly of the future emerges.
