Waiting On A Man

 

As far back as I can recall,

I have always been left astray.

My childhood spent waiting for Dad,

the military sent him far away.

 

But I don’t mind, waiting on a man.

 

Teen years there were the boyfriends,

and I waited for them as well.

Some had jobs and others sports,

waiting is waiting, no need to dwell.

 

But I don’t mind, waiting on a man.

 

Marriage soon followed,

and waiting became a joy.

For this time I was waiting

for my two beautiful boys.

 

But I don’t mind, waiting on a man.

 

Happiness turned to regret,

as the marriage quietly ended.

Soon my waiting began once more,

the time of cub scouts and little league descended.

 

But I don’t mind, waiting on a man.

 

Love again came to me,

and again I was left waiting.

Soon it was clear one had to leave,

his attention and affections were fading.

 

But I don’t mind, waiting on a man.

 

Unexpectedly my heart was saved

by someone dear and special I had met,

Hour after hour I sat and waited,

Our special love I’ll not forget.

 

But I don’t mind, waiting on a man.

"for Him as always"
For Him I never minded the long waits and would do it all over again.

    I Do Believe,

    you have found that abiding peace that only comes with true love and understanding. For within it, waiting seems as a pleasure rather then an ordeal for the faint of heart.

    Best of Luck

    Niaish for entering.

    THIS IS JUST THE SWEETEST!!!

    This is exactly what I would want in a lady, one who cared enough to wait and not turn away. For that is the way I am, definitely a one woman man, when I care I care for only one and will not take up with another until all ties have been broken forever with the one who owns my heart. 's
