You are waiting to live
You are waiting to die
You are waiting to laugh
You are waiting to cry
You are waiting to pick up the phone
You are waiting to cast the first stone
You are in the waiting room
You know this place well
You aren’t just here mentally
For your spirit here dwells
The clock strikes away
Yes, it’s been another day
All throughout the world oceans move to and fro
People ride in the train station
While the traffic picks up and starts to slow
Also people have walked since creation
You are used to the waiting room
Filled with guilt and gloom
So to get out, I go the receptionist
I say, “Please help me”
“Grant me one wish”
“Get me back to the outside world”
She points to an open door that beholds, Dr. Seuss!
My mouth all of a sudden becomes loose
He exclaimed, “Oh, the places you’ll go”
“From mountain to valley”
“Just to be apart of the human flow”
“I have some wisdom to tell you, young man”
“The secrets to not waiting anymore”
“Isn’t just waiting for an open door”
“But by throwing away past plans”
“And moving on”
“And going to distant and faraway lands”
“And being on an airplane”
“While looking at the window”
“And smiling at the infinite blessed people below”
Hallelujah, I am no longer waiting!!
