I Wish...

I wish that she would love me,
or at least tell me.
Perhaps, the seed she gave me,
will one day become a tree.
Thoughout our laughing and playing,
there are times when I wish
she was saying,
I love you.
Yet, for now I hold to this grace.
She seems keen on occupying this place.
She has moved into the living room of my heart.
With an eye on the bedroom.
I chuckle to myself, "well, its a start".
So patiently I await
to hear those words and I will mark the date.
Until then I shall wish like a little boy.
Loving as if I already have that joy.
I will wait upon the LORD in faith.
Until then those three wonderful words,
will just have to wait.

Richard J Wright (2009)
