Waiting
Sometimes I get so stressed,
just from hearing one little word
Wait.
I feel that I,
Wait
for the bathroom in the morning.
I
Wait
for the coffee to start my day.
I
Wait
in traffic for the ride to work to be
over.
I
Wait
in line for lunch to refuel my
body, for the rest of the
Waiting
that I must do today.
I
Wait
to exit the building to go to my car
where I must
Wait
in traffic again, to return home for the day.
When I go to bed at night I thank God that He has allowed me the gift of
Waiting
all Day.
