patience

Everything inside me hates to wait so long,

as time sings his sluggish song.

Your face that shines with love so true,

my heart yearns, aches, waits for you.

Because waiting for you is like waking on water,

only faith can move me one step farther.

Patience to stay focused on something more,

and He soothes my burning soul.

With focused eyes, the wait goes by,

and every step brings more hope to try.

Hope to find you somewhere up ahead,

where my heart will someday be lead.

For if my eyes stray from the Light,

the waves will grip me with their might.

and down and down and down I’ll go,

deep into the storms of life below.

So I’ll wait for you with strength from above,

waiting with an unconditional love.

though it is hard, I won’t leave this course,

for my love, my patience comes from this Source.
