I'm Up

Up and ready to face the day
with nary a doubt in mind
At least that's what I would like to say
at some point and time

Up at least and ready somewhat
No doubt for now
Just knowing somehow
I'll take the day as it goes

Patience Please

Patience is a virtue

I have yet to master

I wait and I try to stay calm

but I get ahead of myself 

again and again.

When will this round of being patient

come to an end?

I am tired of waiting.

I am tired of staying positive.

I don't want to look on the bright side.

I can no longer hold my horses.

I want what I want and I want it

NOW!

Patience is a virtue

I have yet to master.

Patience is a virtue

I have yet to master.

Patience is a virtue

I have yet to master.

I want it now, but I know

it's not coming

until good time.

It will arrive when I least expect it.

Just give it time.

Please Hold

Your call is important to us, please hold

sounds like a lie.

I've heard it far too many times.

Nothing has changed.

The static state remains the same.

Your call is important to us, please hold.

Has it been minutes, months or years?

I can no longer tell.

I've been on hold so long

I can't even hear what passes for music

in this place.

Your call is important to us, please hold.

How much longer should I wait?

I need my issue fixed

but limbo is where I seem destined to wait.

Nothing has changed.

How long is this supposed to take?

Your call is important to us, please hold.

Mechanical , perfunctory, reassurance that eventually

what I need will be resolved.

I hold on because I want to

but I am losing hope

It's the same flat note

I've heard it far too many times.

Nothing has changed.

The static state remains the same.

Your call is important to us, please hold

sounds like a lie.

Bit By Bit

Day by day
bit by bit
Soon I'll have
my special moment.

Time alone
Time to sleep
Time for all
my promises to keep.

Time for me
Time for pleasure
Time for all I truly treasure.

Bit by bit
the hour creeps near
Soon enough
The time will be here.

Holding My Breathe

Holding my breath
trying not to turn blue
Don't be an illusion
We're counting on you

Come round the corner
Come to the light
We're hoping our miracle
will soon be in sight

Holding my breath
trying not to turn blue
Don't be an illusion
We're counting on you

Too many eggs in this basket
Too many fingers crossed
Hoping for the best
that our dreams don't get lost

Holding my breath
trying not to turn blue
Don't be an illusion
We're counting on you

Waited so long
just for your arrival
Heart pounds in our ears
The feeling's quite tribal

Holding my breath
trying not to turn blue
Don't be an illusion
We're counting on you

Can't hold it much longer
Starting to feel faint
No time to dawdle
No time to be

Please hurry and get here
We're waiting for you
Blue isn't my color
You know what to do.

Burdens of The Day

Here I sit
Waiting
Waiting outside the shadows of dusk.
Waiting for someone to come let me in.

Here I wait
time and time again.
Here I wait
Knowing that eventually someone will arrive.

Here I remain
waiting on that elusive someone.
Here I remain
outside, alone
weighed down by the burdens of the day

Patience

Patience is a virtue
I've been told time
and time again

Even still
my patience is
wearing very thin

I'm running out of
patience for a
Saint I truly ain't

This patience thing
is truly trying
but again it's
what I must do

For patience is a Virtue
and I shall be
patient for you

Getting Closer

Getting closer to the end
Blink an eye and time will end
Patience holds but not for long
Soon all worries will be gone

Getting closer to the end
Felt so slow but moved so fast
Energy you've got to last
Until the present becomes the past

Getting closer to the end
Pulling hair trying not to scream
Last minute paperwork drives me insane
Hold it together repeats through my brain

Getting closer to the end
Trying hard to keep it Zen
Summer vacation my old friend
Soon our paths will meet again

Getting closer to the end
Blink and eye and time will end
Patience holds but not for long
Soon all worries will be gone

Working for Vacation

Here's another day
Working for a little pay
So very tired

Vacation awaits
It's just a matter of days
Hurry, Hurry, Please!

When summer begins
Stressful reality ends
Bring on summer friends.

Lazy summer days
Concerts, museums and plays
Life's a purple haze

Anticipating

Anticipating

I hate all the waiting

It just can't come soon enough.

Savoring the moment

when all my time's spent

consuming delicious stuff.

Anticipating

I hate all the waiting

It just can't come soon enough.

Sweet and delicious

It's barely nutritious

What to eat first the decision is rough.

Anticipating

I hate all the waiting

It just can't come soon enough.

Sooner or Later

Dreams may be wishes

deep down in your heart

But do they really come true?

I believe they do.

Sooner or Later

but not today,

In some tomorrow

Not far away.

Dreams will be

Reality,

Sooner or Later

For me.

Wish upon 

a shooting star;

All you desire

is not where you are,

Well...

Sooner or Later

but not today,

In some tomorrow

Not far away.

Wishes come true

for me

and for 

You.

Shooting Star 

or 

Wishing Well

Dream a Dream

And it sets sail

In some tomorrow;

Closer than you think,

Dreams come true

In a single blink.
