Contract Renewal

Time trickles past so slowly
We wait anxiously for news
Wanting to learn of the outcome
Yet still fearing the final chapter

We wait anxiously for news
Will next year find this still our home
Yet still fearing the final chapter
And so preparing to move on

Will next year find this still our home
Perhaps we will be cast adrift
And so preparing to move on
We seek an oasis to call our own

Perhaps we will be cast adrift
But family keeps us from being alone
We seek an oasis to call our own
Knowing that united we are complete

Still love keeps us bound together
Wanting to learn of the outcome
Knowing that united we are complete
Time trickles past so slowly

    Terrific pantoum that expresses the anxiety shared by many people during these times of economic woes. Great work, Christi! Good luck in the contest. Best wishes, Carolyn
