The longer I wait the greater anxiety grows <br />Double-checking e-mails more than usual <br />This will not alleviate anxiety <br />Carry on with the tasks of the day and forget <br />Phones don’t ring when you wait for them? <br /> <br />Wipe mind of awaited call or mail <br />What’s next, perhaps pigeon post? <br />Accept and forget it, as it’s not to be <br />Then life continues and morale improves <br />With expectation put far behind you <br /> <br />How strange after all this time? <br />From nowhere and taken by surprise <br />As the unexpected caller is on your mobile <br />Great news relayed despite delay <br />Sometimes it pays to wait and not anticipate! <br /> <br />Copyright © 2007 Ray Feasey<br /><br />Ray Feasey<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-longer-i-wait/
