We Wait Our Time
By Mark
Just Cause You Have To
We wait our turn
Always looking around
Looking left, right, behind
Alert, silent,
Unknown abilities hidden
Life's sets an ambush
We know it must come.
He waits and watches
He pulls lifes strings
A lesson in every tug
More of life's homework
Another load to lug.
It's an open book test
You can pass
All you need is trust
You can do it
Passing is a must
Don't wait, do it now
No one cheats on life's test
Why is mine hard?
Look, his is easy
Why can't I have his?
Why?
Don't you understand?
If you do what you have always done
Easy to you
Hard for him
Why the test
So you yearn
To be the best
You will always get
Don't take a shortcut
Your life in a rut,
Is a coffin without an end
Know you can change it
Look around the bend
What you always got
No stories, no lies
No ego, no make up
You have to be true
That's all it takes
For you
To see you
Be brave, be yourself
Sometimes hurricanes can be seen approaching
Other times we fall into life's traps
