WAITING FOR YOU

WAITING FOR YOU

By Frances Harris

I sit here and I wait; and I wait,

Not knowing what to do,

There is no sight or sound of you,

I wonder, I worry, my thoughts race,

It wasn’t long ago that you were safe,

Laughing, joking, mingling and the like,

The light in your eyes shone so brightly,

But now, I don’t know,

The future is unclear, I have no say,

There is nothing I can do,

I can’t help you even though I want to,

All I know is to wait, I must wait,

You are too young to go through this,

Sudden, oh so sudden it was,

Unexpected, not wanted nor deserved,

One moment fine, the next moment, not;

My love for you is unwavering,

The light in my heart will not fade,

I am here for you always, you know that,

I am here – I love you.
