The wait

My heart can only take so much 

Until these tears escape my eyes 

 please, I just want it to be over

These winds know nothing of my passion

And these mountains never speak up for me 

The sun shines all over me

But maybe I miss the shade. 

Picking myself up, to get to the finish line 

I pray every step of the way

Knowing that I will win, I just have to run the race

Encouragement is my ally 

And motivation too

They cheer me on

As I run through.
