WAITING

We wait for things to happen
which seldom come our way.
We dream of the tomorrows
and feel the loss of yesterdays.

The years pass by so quickly
as the stars fade from our skies.
The hopes of youthful spirits
are passed on to younger eyes.

Our children are the future
and their dreams are what we pray.
They wait for things to happen
and hope the stars don't fade away.
