Poem: Waiting Patiently

In anticipation of good news…

The moment of truth eludes

More time for quiet reflection…

And the test of patience too

The hands of destiny controls the tempo…

I’m helpless in its grip

Tolerantly the prize I wait…

Remembering so clear the old adage:

Good things come indeed…

To those who uncomplainingly wait

Inventory of self…

Preparing for the challenge

One’s on the horizon…

Put in order until then…

Praying for readiness and endurance

Unwearyingly in gear…

For the new day and a fresh start

The hearty experience

…Is worth relating
