They wait... <br /> <br />At times it seems <br />Without a care <br />And then again <br />Resigned despair <br /> <br />They wait... <br /> <br />Whatever blessings <br />Longevity holds <br />Though doubting eyes <br />Betray the soul <br /> <br />They wait... <br /> <br />Till death <br />One day erase <br />The shackles of <br />That wretched place <br /> <br />They wait.....<br /><br />James B.
