      The Waiting Time


The waiting time of the day for me
Is just like it was before____
It's just the time of the day when I listen and wait
For the sound of your key in the door.

It's the time of the day when I make believe
That soon you'll be home with me_____
Then my world will be lovely & bright again
The way it used to be.

I 'll feel the touch of your hand once more
And in your nearness I'll find______
The remembered warmth that I always found
The closeness of spirit & mind.

I'll think of your smile & hear your voice
As plainly as if you were here______
And all of the sorrow & grief I've known
Will majically disappear.

Please God,let me go on pretending
For this is the only way______
I cna bear the silence around me
At the waiting time of the day...

I have mentioned before that I collect poems by Alice E. Chase. She has the ability to put into words, what so many of us has felt at one time or another. I truly admire her work.Hope you enjoy it as well.
