Waiting and Wondering

Once again, I lay awake Wishing that sleep would grab and take Me away to a better place Where happiness lies face to face Open waters, rolling hills Tragic endings, exciting trills Through foreign nations and mysterious lands It's almost as if, it was in your hands I dream of someone, I dare say not For one never knows, to wait in this spot Any chance that you may get It's okay to jump in and get your feet wet In troubled times talking with them is bright In the wee-early hours, to the dead of night Laying in bed or at the desk It's a good friend at it's best But wanting something more? I'm not too sure If it's in their master plan To take me by the hand Another challenge, getting a degree Civilian or military, I'll be at sea The saddest song is Anchors Away Brings tears in the smallest way I hear a piano, playing autumn The notes on the sheet from top to bottom It relaxes yet reminds me Of a time in struggle, a time in prosperity Only if you knew, the thoughts I've had You would trilled and other ways glad That a smile is what I hope to bring To make your heart smile and your soul sing I'll be waiting and wondering Not to often to I fret by pondering Given the chance of life I've got Patience is a virtue, or is it not?
