WAITING, FOR WHAT?

Hope will ever be,
Will dreams I ever see?
Should help go me to thee?
Is waiting still the key?

Need is always there,
Will ever I really care?
Start now, do I dare?
Will waiting be my lair?

Love for one and all,
Can now I deeply fall?
Put off, never brawl?
Can waiting tone my call?

Faith I think I know,
How do I daily show?
Or is it just a glow?
Is waiting how to grow?

Trust the calming trait,
Learned or just by fate?
Forever beyond the gate?
Will waiting fill my plate?

Belief in Christ the Lord,
Need I seek accord?
Must song be in His chord?
Is waiting my reward?

Answer without doubt.
Daily we must shout.
All now be devout.
No waiting, God’s about.
