Fleurette Elaine Harris (September 23rd / Port Antonio Jamaica)
Weight
Each morning I wake up and find myself waiting
For oh so long I have been waiting
For divine ideas I have been waiting
To uplift my soul I have been waiting
For light to shine I have been waiting
On the path I must climb I have been waiting
For the sound of your voice I have been waiting
For the spread of my wings I have been waiting
For the taste of love I have been waiting
To inspire my life I have been waiting
I have been waiting I have been waiting
I have been waiting
To behold glory I have been waiting
Let me see…I need must see…I have been waiting
Behind these mountains I have been waiting
To climb….for wings to fly….I have been waiting
Show me how….I have been waiting
To move over….I have been waiting
For glory….I have been waiting…
I am waiting to finish my story!
