The Wait

Life is what happens to us
While we are waiting for our dreams to come true
Deep inside we know that this can’t be it
This just cannot be what my life is going to be
We know we are destined for great things
They just haven’t happened yet
They will
All we have to do is keep the faith
Keep plodding thru the routine
Waiting for the extraordinary
Keep our eyes on the horizon
Our heart full of hope
It will happen
We all know it will
It’s why we are poets
We believe in the dream
We believe there are wonderful things ahead
We just have to be patient
And live the life given us
While we wait

Dear Mitzi,

Your poem reminds me of the lines in one of John Lennon's songs called "Beautiful Boy"..."Life is what happens to us while we busy making other plans." I really enjoyed your poem!

Blessings,
Sharon

love the lines
"life is what happens to us
while we are waiting on our dream to come true"
but feel there is something more we can/must do
wise words of patience and more in here.......

i like this but worry about the wait bit. how long? wait or work hard and wait at the same time? do things happen or do we make them happen or both? no easy answer out there. thanks for sharing

A sense a hint of sadness here. The dream may never come.

Sue, this is wonderful! I especially love your first two lines, "Life is what happens to us

That's brilliant, my friend!
