Waiting Time is not Wasted Time
Waiting is not fun when you’re on the run
They’re things to do before the day is done.
Daily tasks are like a mountain to climb
But it seems we are always short of time.
Waiting time is by no means wasted time
If we use this time our life’s pump to prime.
A pump that is not primed will soon run dry
Those always on the run soon fall and die.
Waiting provides time for much-needed rest
So, we can always perform at our best.
Use the time to meditate while you wait
and you will walk life with a steady gait.
Patience, an essential character trait,
can only be formed as we learn to wait.
So, stop the chase, get out of the rat race,
and live life with gratitude and grace.
