Like a farmer,
Waiting for his crop to ripen,
I too, must wait for my relationships to ripen.
Like the bear,
Hibernating in winter,
I too, must hibernate on my wants.
Like the tiger,
Stalking patiently,
I too, must be patient in my waiting.
God has called me to his purpose
So who am I to refute?
I am but a slave,
Not worthy of a grain of sand,
But God has been merciful,
Giving me everything!
Like Christ was pained
By his duty to the world,
I too, am pained
By my duty to wait.
I can only humble myself
Before God and continue
To trust in his Word.
