As I Still Wait…

One Fine Day ... I asked my Lord 

Desperately, helplessly, longingly, I cried;
Quietly, patiently, lovingly, God replied.
 

Master so gently you said, "Wait." 

"Be silent, my child, and in time you will see
That the greatest of gifts is to truly know me.
And though oft My answers seem terribly late,
My most precious answer of all is still . . . Wait."

As I Still Wait…

You taught me the meaning of love,

But failed to teach me how to hate somehow,

So many complains I have in store,

But while I wait for you I need nothing more…

You taught me the sanctity of commitment,

But failed to teach me how to end this advent,

So many words are hidden in my hearts core,

But while I wait for you I need nothing more…

You taught how to forgive when I was wrong,

But failed to teach me how to hold on the grudge for long,

So many tears my eyes have wore,
But while I wait for you I need nothing more…

You taught me what it means to hold on,

But failed to teach me how to move on,

So many questions are hidden behind my hearts door,

But while I wait for you I need nothing more…

You taught me when you are with me I will be fine,

But failed to teach me how to live when you aren’t mine,

Eyes are heavy and all set to pour,

But while I still wait for you I need nothing more…

I told you I will wait, for life long I will wait,

Knowing strongly that you aren’t the one in my fate,

Still dread the day when someone would enter my life,

Maybe then I will stop this wait, but till then… I will still wait…
