WE WAIT

We wait to graduate from school,
we wait to build our houses,
we wait for our hair to grow longer,
we wait for the maize to mature -
we need to wait
and i know that in waiting we learn,
we mature, we observe -
we prepare for another day and season-
another battle-

We always wait - always with a purpose -
when we get married, we need to wait some more -
for the kids who are not being born,
for the jobs that are not coming through,
for the mortgage, the car, the inlaws to understand our priorities,
the friends to forgive us
for not attending their children's christening etc...

We always wait..
and learn
and mature...

We wait..
