We all wait our turn

We all wait for peace 

We wait beneath the starlit sky

We wait in line

We wait from the day before we’re born.

Waiting in the warmth , carefree , leaping into the unknown 

And then we wait,

For the nurse, for the scales , 

For mothers first smile

Wait for school

We wait for results

We wait to work

We wait for the bus,

We wait for holidays

We wait for planes

We wait

We wait to retire

We wait for Autumn 

We wait for Winter.

And then we’re gone

And others wait 

In short lines and long.
