When I consider how my light is spent
Ere half my days in this dark world and wide,
And that one talent which is death to hide
Lodged with me useless, though my soul more bent
To serve therewith my Maker, and present
My true account, lest he returning chide,
“Doth God exact day-labour, light denied?”
I fondly ask. But Patience, to prevent
That murmur, soon replies: “God doth not need
Either man’s work or his own gifts: who best
Bear his mild yoke, they serve him best. His state
Is kingly; thousands at his bidding speed
And post o’er land and ocean without rest:
They also serve who only stand and wait.”
These days I send myself a friendly wave quite frequently
I am less and less the girl at the window
AWaiting his return
That window was there in every town and continent
I stared
I waited
I hoped
The disappointment inside myself
Told me there was nothing through the window
Some gentle friends took my hand and led me inside
They Told me they had someone I should meet
And she would understand me best of all
She turned out to be A lot like me,
the best parts of me.
We’ve got a lot closer lately
I like her
And she seems to like me
