Analysis of Waiting



Sometimes I get so stressed,
just from hearing one little word
                       Wait.
 I feel that I,
                        Wait
 for the bathroom in the morning.
I
                        Wait
 for the coffee to start my day.
I
                         Wait
 in traffic for the ride to work to be
over.
 I
                         Wait
in line for lunch to refuel my
body, for the rest of the
                         Waiting
 that I must do today.
I
                            Wait
to exit the building to go to my car
where I must
                             Wait
in traffic again, to return home for the day.
When I go to bed at night I thank God that He has allowed me the gift of
                           Waiting
 all Day.
