Life themes

I have a long list of things to wait for.  I also have a long list of things to celebrate now.  We fly out this weekend to look at one of the possible school choices.  The week is a quieter week for me, work-wise.  I plan to enjoy it.  The weather seems to have settled.  This helps my brain function better.  I am grateful.

When I look at

Life themes

Waiting is one the major ones.

Even as I say

Now

Now is just as important

Now is more important even

Still

I am convinced

Only a little.

Even now I wait,

Expectant to drive

Next Monday.

Even now I wait

For all the colleges in the world

To clamor

For my daughter’s presence.

Even now I wait

For a more full spring

For a fuller greening

Than this one hinted

Before my eyes

Even now.
