I will patiently wait for thee.
I will never break your faith in me.
Spring sat patiently on a park swing waiting for her time
It was autumn now, and she knew winter would be sublime
people would be amazed with winter’s blue tinted snow
After that, her wait would not have so far to go
pelican sitting on post waiting for fishermen’s boats
Sorry that I hurt you,
I always see you there.
I am aware how much you care,
I stare into you all day.
Trying to understand the way,
Playing a part I believe.
Achieving harmony in me,
I see the way your teaching.
Reaching deep within my heart,
To start the engine,
Sparking my intention.
I travel to your dimension,
Did I mention I bring light,
Ending the fight,
Between wrong and right.
I come from your sight,
Projecting day and night,
Protecting my fleet,
Washing their feet.
An energy so sweet,
I'll change how you see.
I know you love me,
Ill wait patiently,
Knowing what's to be.
they say to quiet the mind
and the soul will speak.
that’s what they say.
i quiet my mind
and i hear but silence.
sensing the mere surge of longing.
but the words do not come.
the knot inside still tight.
resisting and yet…
and yet they say to quiet the mind
and the soul will speak.
so I do but to no avail.
i get silence. silence.
i get more silence.
and silence is not always golden.

There many ups and down when you are falling in love.
A lot of us are scared
In fear of falling in love with the wrong person
A lot of people are not what they look like
And they could hurt you badly
Sometimes is better being alone but you can’t always run from it
Love is beautiful but take your time looking for it
Don't rush things and wait patiently
Love will come to you when you least expect it
I see many black coats
Going down the stairs.
But he was not there.
I patiently wait,
I plainly contemplate.
When will he come and seal my fate?
My parachute rises
My feet don't touch the ground
Leave no footprint on the moon
And i float in and on water
Leave no reflection in a mirror
And no one ever sees me
Nor invites me out or round for dinner
I once upon a time used to walk
amongst you and chew my food
Until that fateful day i crossed
over
And now i shadow you religiously
silently sheltering you from harm
Now ever waiting for you join me in
this so called after life
Where we the dead persist in
solitary alignment patiently
awaiting your arrival
For not one single second longer
or shorter until your time has
lapsed as well
And finally have you beside me
once again safe in the knowledge
That even death can never tear us
apart ever again
Death is for life
Just longer without clocks
or watches as no one needs
to know what date or time it is
will e’re i see
what used to be
afore the days you left
my one beauty
was wrenched from me
i am become bereft
i wait on thee
as you do me
lone cries die in the wind
our souls in need
to be complete
desire each one again
once Death plainly
took you from me
and left but pain’s embrace
yet patiently
Death waits for me
then pain shall be erased
The dog only barks once
When his black moistened snout
Hears his master's voice
And the jangling chain of his leash
Opens a mouth so wide all you can see is teeth
And a cheeky grin
That sets a tale wagging
With bounds of unabridged pleasure
What's up my boy are you ready to go
The pure joy of walking never wears thin
With my loyal companion at my side
Its like taking your very first fairground ride
That is why you wait patiently
In front of the house gate's
Your my very best mate
May the wisdom of the serpent be thine,
Close to the earth, as it lives on the ground.
Into the forest, we follow the hind,
Knowledge surrounds all, waiting to be found.
Secretly I sit, silently in awe,
Captivated by all the breathing trees,
Esoteric in nature, I see more,
Against my face, I feel the warmest breeze.
Time stands still when you're sitting on a hill,
I drift off into a deep calming spell,
My soul is replenished, it’s gained its fill,
As if I've taken a drink from youths’ Well.
Those secrets that fall from heavenly heights,
Are gathered by those who turn on their lights.

You fall into despair on a black rivers dream
Life so it was not going as easily as it did seem
The corner of a shadow screeches silently of doom
The thought of sanity was a wilted hearts bloom
Forever and a day flees as far as the eye can see
Happiness falls flat as it always shall be
Scantily clad joy loose its eternal glow
The shoulder of love is as cold as the artic snow
Inner peace is bewildered upon the scripts of the one
A nightmare approaches upon the tears of the sun
A perilous journey fails fast and is begotten by all
The soul waits patiently beyond the time of nightfall
Jesus Patiently Waits For YOU!
Satan comes to take everything!
And destroy!
To rob you of you of any
happiness and joy!
He’ll take the beautiful things
God made…
To lure you into sin and bondage…
Like a slave!
He’ll twist God’s truth,
any way he can!
So God’s word—
you won’t understand.
You’ll end up shattered,
tormented and confused.
Perhaps feeling alone, neglected
and abused.
Jesus is here now! Waiting at
your heart’s door!
Won’t you let him in?
What are you waiting for?
He’s promised to give you,
everlasting life!
He’ll remove all sin, guilt,
sorrow and strife!
By Jim Pemberton
I've been missing you, wishing you were here
Holding me so close, wiping away my tears
Being without you, my heart aches so much
How much I need to feel your tender loving touch
You know I need you here by my side
Cause everything around me just doesn't seem so right
And so I wait for you to walk on through my door
To wrap my arms around you and to love you even more
I know the path's that taken is out of our control
But I will continue to wait here with fishnets and a loaded bowl
Come in sit down relieve your soul awhile
And let me help bring peace back to your mind
I’m sure for you there is an extra smile
My heart as always trying to be kind
You know how much I really care for you
Your happiness is all I care about
For you I do the things that I go through
To be your haven free from worldly doubt
I’m sorry please forgive the tears you see
It hurts to see new bruises that you bring
Sometimes our love and reason disagree
Be patient and perhaps your love will sing
For now just close you eye and drift to sleep
I’ll sing some songs sweet memories I keep
