Everyday he smiles at me
Hi pop how is it there
He says I always told you to
‘WAIT AND SEE'
Since I am having a feeling
you will be coming to me
so, I too am waiting.
Last time you grew a mango tree
nothing grew
not even a plant
then you for the first time smiled
and said
Wait and See
So, I did for the next twenty years
and oh, a plant finally grew.
I returned home after two decades
and exclaimed
Pop look there is a mango on top of the tree
kissing the sky
I told you so, No?
Since then have been winding
through life's tunnels
valleys highs and lows
chill rain and snow
up and down the hill
till I couldn't see
The Eyes specialist told me
operation is the only way
not to get blind
and he mumbled mad guy
when I said
Wait and See
he knew I was partially deaf
Now its been five years
I've been watering my eyes
like you did the mango tree
and I want to go back to him to say
see I waited doc now I can see.
Pop are you listening
I am waiting still
Fifty years have flown down the rivers
Ganges, Jumna, Brahmaputra,
Saint Lawrence River
Mississippi
Thames
Amazon the Nile
But you I am still remembering
as you know we must all wait at sea
