Waiting for a father, while he built a school, to become a Dad <br />Waiting for the girl I never had <br />Waiting for aged police to catch the kidnapper of the violent crime <br />Waiting for a position that would leave more than a job’s dime <br />Waiting while wondering during war <br />About the death that never came <br />Waiting to see the wonder of Jesus <br />Coming on the clouds <br />A life of relatively little sorrow <br />With most things that are ordinary <br />Come tomorrow.<br /><br />Bill Grace<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/waiting-a-poem-for-helen/
