Oh, how long shall we wait to see him, <br />many ask this but many do not think what if he is not late... <br />We just do not want to face that if he came down today.... <br />We would not be ready, some would be cheating on their mate. <br /> <br />Others would be in the mist of telling a lie... <br />He would not like to know that he sent his son to die... <br />Just so we could mess up and see him cry. <br /> <br />So maybe we should ask... <br />Are we really wearing blind shades and a mask? <br />Are we the ones who are running late... <br />And he is waiting to open the gate. <br /> <br />He may be waiting to see if we will change our fate... <br />We do not know the time nor the date... <br />So are we running late? <br /> <br />Should we have changed our minds by now... <br />And be listening to him instead of being as stubborn as a cow... <br />He may be holding off on taking his final bow... <br />Until we notice we are late and start sticking to our vow.<br /><br />Rita Hawkins<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/are-we-running-late/
