I waited for the warmth
For the seasons to bring
To stare out at the fields
Of yellow buttercup and green

Waiting for the sun
To drape over my yearning face
For the soft wind to close my eyes
And troubles to erase

I waited for the flowers
To bloom around the bank
The river a little lighter
Where all my sorrows sank

Waiting eagerly
In my folding chair
Mind allowed to wander
Time passing without care

Grass is getting greener
Life buzzing about my feet
Momentarily free
Happiness complete

I waited for the warmth
Agonized for so long
Enjoyed for a short time
Until once more it’s gone.
