WAITING ON LIFE
Quiet, shy little girl standing on the sidewalk
Nervous but excited, waiting for a new chapter in life to begin
Her time was well spent with smiles and laughter
As she learned of the joy of love.
Times changed and life carried on
Scared and sad, waiting for her life to end
Her days were cut short by tears and slumber
As she learned of the pain of hate.
Things picked up and turned around
Renewed and refreshed, waiting for life to roll on
Her minutes were cherrished, experiences savored
As she learned of the fun of life.
Quiet, shy little girl standing on the sidewalk
Tearful but happy, no longer waiting, but her life moving on
Her time had been well spent with both laughter and cries
As she learned of the ways to love life.
