Signs

The wall's been hit, the flag's in hand,
I'm ready to resign.
Seems like lately, more than ever,
I've prayed to see a sign.

Watching a spider, cling to life,
from another's bumper.
Reminded me, there have been signs,
one after another.

The praying mantis, on the screen, 
braving the stormy wind.
The persistent caterpillar, 
insisting I'm a limb.

And not forget, two times this week,
the ducks that made me wait.
With patience the only option,
knowing I will be late.

All week through things in front of me,
He's saying don't give up.
Calm down, be patient, have some faith,
this place you are not stuck.
