Waiting is Hard

Waiting is hard
Its want inspired
By something Now does not impart
Through its request
Waiting will test
Endurance of both hand and heart

Waiting is hard
Its passage barred
With no peek-hole from Here to There
A wall of sorts
Where Time cavorts
While we resort to fear or prayer

This waiting game
Is much the same
For young or old stayed in its Must
 Then some of us
Will fret and fuss
And some will learn patience and trust

Waiting is hard
But its reward
If we learn what waiting can teach
Will make us far
More thankful for
That Something still beyond our reach

 Wait on the Lord:
be of good courage,
and he shall strengthen thine heart:
wait, I say, on the Lord.
Ps.27:14
