I Wait

I wait alone in darkness to be saved by the light I wait for the angels to raise me to full height I wait for the dawn to free me from the night I wait upon sunset to see such wondrous sight I wait upon cool showers to douse this burning blight I wait for love to come and bring my heart delight I wait to make a wrong into something done right I wait to see my dreams come alive and take flight I wait . . . . . I wait with all my might © 07-23-2012

To wait forever is just not right. May your dreams come true in the morning light. And when the weight is much to much. May love and insight be your crutch.
