And So I Wait

So many things in life
Happen at other people's pace.
take for example waiting
Half a year to move into my own place.

I thought I'd learn to drive,
But didn't book my course
Early enough and so,
My licence will take longer to endorse.

The waiting stretches out.
Soon I see what I had changed, stopped
To accommodate these
And realise the passions I had dropped.

Anticipation have no doubt,
Makes things all the sweeter for
Looking forward to
Those things we slowly come to adore.

And so I wait because
You never really dwell
on those moments 
which span the wanting, and all being well.

This waiting so nicely versified can be related to easily ... Very true ...

Neil, your beautiful and unexpectedly profound poem on the nature of waiting touched me and made me think :) Amitiés
