There is pain in this patience
Not knowing if you are coming or going
The worry of not knowing
There is frustration in not knowing how true you are to your word
Wanting nothing more than to move forward
To trust,
afraid that it will all combust

There is worry in this patience
Unsure of where we are going
But with a destination set
Hoping with each passing hour
God allows us the power
To chart a course to rest
On each others hearts

There is wisdom in time
Anyone can claim that you are mine
And just like a flame
Quick to burn out
By stoking the embers and keeping the fire
We ensure we never tire
Of each others touch

There is love in taking our time
Translating across space and time
The many ways i can say I care
That I am there
It’s a risk to give you my heart-
I knew that risk from the start
And I jumped trusting God gave us a chance
At a beautiful romance
Because I am of you
You are entrusted to
Soothe my fears
Pull my hair behind my ear
And whisper, I am here
Let go of that old tune
Let us gaze upon the moon
And relax that Gods timing
Never is late
The wait
Ensures that the strings of fate
Will mend and grow this love again and again
