Waiting--By Christine Tate--United States

Waiting
 

We wait for most appointments

and on endless check-out lines,

in long, boring traffic jams

and always at stop signs...

We wait to catch a bus,

taxi, or a train, and

wait at busy airports

just to board a plane!

We wait on the telephone

and for all kinds of repairs,

but expect instant answers

to all of our prayers.

Be patient for God's answers,

there's no use getting riled,

they may not come tomorrow

but the wait will be worthwhile!

Christine Tate has been writing since 1994. She's the mother of 3 sons and has 8 grandchildren. She was widowed in 2007 and met her husband Artie, a widower with 6 children & 12 grandchildren, in a nursing facility where their mothers resided. They've been happily married 4 1/2 years. They describe their meeting as "God's divine appt." because of their faith, and the fact that they swore they'd never marry again.
