WAITING
Waiting for your life to begin
Waiting for your team to win
Waiting for the bus to arrive
Waiting for your kid to strive
Waiting for the rain to pass
Waiting for the bell after class
Waiting for the job of your dream
Waiting for things to become what they seem
Waiting for inspiration to come
Waiting to become rich and then some
Waiting for a person to change
Waiting for motion to become a range
Waiting for a bad mood to disappear
Waiting for your head to clear
Waiting for your boss to see your worth
Waiting for heaven on earth
Waiting for what is your due
Waiting for a cue
Waiting for someone to understand
Waiting for your enemies to be banned
Waiting for the world to get better
Waiting for that liberating letter
Waiting for something that will never come
Waiting for things to become undone
Waiting for wisdom to teach you
that waiting is just loosing time to get through

So true, we are always waiting!
Thanks Bonnie. I just saw that you have a lot of blogs. I will surely surf along them in the near future.
White Rose: bottom line is though that waiting is kind of time lost. Instead of waiting for something to happen, one should just make it happen.
excellently said, mimi.
cant believe losing was spelled wrong in this, how embarrassing
Dear Anonymous,
loosing is not spelled wrong in this.
It is NOT meant as losing = be defeated/lost,
but loosing = set free/unbind/alleviate (see synonyms here: http://thesaurus.com/browse/loosing)
But I appreciate your in depth analysis of my poem.
Regards,
Mimi
