Waiting Wait for me dear friend, as I am falling behind. I can not remember well, what I need to do, before I do it, but I find that I reminisce about the past all the time. I don't understand why? I can not conceive of how? The who is without answer. The what does not matter most of the time. When... When, it happens often, without warning, off and on, and on again. I sing and my voice is hoarse. I laugh and smile but not always at the right time, or place, or as expected. Life is not fair, but I am waiting... Waiting for the Lord to come. He will set me free, from the tangle I have made the mess I have created, the maze I have designed. I am waiting for... a miracle, that I know will come if I just hold on tightly to my faith.

Waiting is fine with me as long as I have faith is His returning to take me home. Your poem will resonate with many like us, Ann. Thanks for sharing my friend. Smiles ~ Blessings Bill

Life is as we make it. Your faith will move mountains. Be strong as the good Lord made us.

As the Narrator of 'Our Town' said, "We're all waitin,' waitin' for that litte something Eternal to come out in us." Your reflections reminded me so much of my favorite American play. Thanks, Ann.
