Sit And Wait

Will you come and open the gate And then please allow me in, Even though I might be late And it will probably be way past 10. I need again to set up my priorities That indeed is the sad cost, If not I must deal with the authorities And sadly, our time together will be lost. I can't tell you what I have been through But, I do not ever want you there, My babies they all have grew Now at empty rooms I do sadly stare. Our loss will not be a forever That I do promise and I guarantee, To lose you, I will shout out, "Never"! I am just going to be an absentee. If you sincerely need anything more than that I can and I do certainly understand, In time, like most I will get old and fat And there won't be any strength left in my hand. But, for now I need to do many other things While from you I am so far away, And remember attached to you there is no strings But, for us I promise, I will always sit and pray. My plants they are of course my babies My children are the reasons why I strive, Though they both make me sound and act crazy They both certainly make me feel alive. I never have kept a caring relationship My partners have either cheated, or they have lied, In rough waters they had all abandoned ship So, I ended up used, and abuse, and denied. In my purse there is no more extra door keys Old and rusted probably now is the lock So, when I arrive will you let me in, please Or on the gate must I first loudly knock.... I will be there waiting at the side of the road And yes, I will happily open the gate, We are rembered and loved by the acts we sowed And for you, I will always sit and wait. Randy L. McClave
