How much of human life is lost in waiting - Ralph Waldo Emerson

>> 23 May 2008


WAITING


Waiting for your life to begin

Waiting for your team to win


Waiting for the bus to arrive

Waiting for your kid to strive


Waiting for the rain to pass

Waiting for the bell after class


Waiting for the job of your dream

Waiting for things to become what they seem


Waiting for inspiration to come

Waiting to become rich and then some


Waiting for a person to change

Waiting for motion to become a range


Waiting for a bad mood to disappear

Waiting for your head to clear


Waiting for your boss to see your worth

Waiting for heaven on earth


Waiting for what is your due

Waiting for a cue


Waiting for someone to understand

Waiting for your enemies to be banned


Waiting for the world to get better

Waiting for that liberating letter


Waiting for something that will never come

Waiting for things to become undone


Waiting for wisdom to teach you

that waiting is just loosing time to get through

So true, we are always waiting!

Thanks Bonnie. I just saw that you have a lot of blogs. I will surely surf along them in the near future.

White Rose: bottom line is though that waiting is kind of time lost. Instead of waiting for something to happen, one should just make it happen.

cant believe losing was spelled wrong in this, how embarrassing

Mindful Mimi 20 January 2011 at 10:07  

Dear Anonymous,

loosing is not spelled wrong in this.

It is NOT meant as losing = be defeated/lost,
but loosing = set free/unbind/alleviate (see synonyms here: http://thesaurus.com/browse/loosing)

But I appreciate your in depth analysis of my poem.
Regards,
Mimi
