On this journey <br />We meet many <br />Who pretend interest <br />But really are passers-by <br /> <br /> <br />We wait <br />Crossing milestones <br />We walk <br />On lush green paths, with hidden thorns <br /> <br /> <br />We hope <br />To find someone <br />Who speaks <br />The secret language of our heart <br /> <br /> <br />With quiet words <br />That only 'we' can understand <br />Waiting to hold hands, and walk together <br />Into the secret gardens of our heart<br /><br />Anita Atina<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-wait-24/
