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
