As you got up this morning,
I watched you and hoped,
That you would talk to me.
Even if it was just a few words,
Asking my opinion or thanking me,
For something that happened in your life yesterday.
But I noticed that you were too busy,
Trying to find the right outfit to wear to work.
I waited again.
When you ran around the house getting ready,
I knew there would be a few minutes,
For you to stop and say hello,
But you were too busy.
At one point you had to wait fifteen minutes,
With nothing to do except sit in a chair.
Then I saw you spring to your feet.
I thought you wanted to talk to me,
But you ran to the phone and called a friend,
To get the latest gossip.
I watched as you went to work,
And I waited patiently all day.
With all of your activities I guess that you,
Were too busy to say anything to me.
I noticed that before lunch you looked around,
Maybe you felt embarrassed to talk to me,
That's why you didn't bow your head.
You glanced a few tables over and noticed,
Some of your friends talking to me briefly,
Before they ate, but you did not.
That's okay, there is still more time left,
And I have hope that you will,
Talk to me yet.
You went home and it seemed,
You had many things to do.
After a few of them were done,
You turned on the television,
I don't know if you like TV or not,
Just about anything goes.
You spend a lot of time each day in front of it,
Not thinking about the television or the show.
I waited patiently again as you,
Watched the TV and ate your meal,
But again you did not talk to me.
At bedtime I guess you was too tired.
After you said goodnight to your family,
You plopped into bed and fell asleep, in no
time
That is okay, you may not realize,
That I am always there for you.
I've got patience, more than you will ever know.
I even want to teach you how to be,
Patient with others as well.
I love you so much that I will wait every day,
For a nod.
A prayer,
A thought,
Or a thankful part of your heart.
It is hard to have a one sided conversation.
Well, you are getting up again,
And once again I will wait,
With nothing but love for you,
Hoping today you will give me,
Some of your time.
Your friend,
God
