Waiting On Forever
Winter days take hold
keeping us hostage to the chill and cold
in forgotten youth of early spring
leaves us only time on which to cling;
the shadows dark and gray
inch thru the windy rain and snow at play
with quick slow passing of the new year day,
when celebrations rose and fell
in dropping of the ball into the year-end well;
stay a moment, sit and reminisce
recall the earlier times now missed
when love and adventure reigned
beneath the sun's cold warm games
and everyone knew our history and our names;
now, slowly slipping into the past
our futures remain uncast
and youth and adult games fade
in forgotten plans once made
waiting patient in the disappearing parade;
hold tight, don't let go
soon enough the time will flow
and in the light or the shadows of the night
we each will bid goodbye and farewell
to the waiting on forever of life's spell/
