And so begins the waiting game . . .
waiting, waiting, waiting . . .
I remember the waiting as a kid. "Wait until
after supper! Let's wait until the weekend!
Wait until Christmas Eve, dear. That's not
for today; we're having that when grandma
comes over."
I recall the waiting as a young adult . . .
"Sorry, can't access your savings for another
five weeks. Oh, we won't have that product
back in the store until Thanksgiving as it's
seasonal. You've waited this long, surely
you can wait another day or two!"
Me thinks waiting as an elder may be the
most difficult of all . . . "Alas, we cannot
schedule it for yet another two months. I'm
sorry, but your account simply can't cover
that check. The children have had to cancel
their visit due to unforeseen circumstances."
And today, we wait . . . wait to see which
party will win the election. Will it be hopes
and dreams or disappointment and sorrow?
Will I have the wherewithal to act as an
adult, albeit a win or a loss? Do I have it
within me to access grace and poise
'mongst the disappointment I may feel?
No matter the outcome, I pray I win my
own battle . . .
are you listening
sit up stand straight deal with it
act like a grown up
