And I Still Wait For You Poem by BAL KRISHAN PANDITA

I had heard your footsteps and waited for your knock
And you came not and I still wait for you
As a child waits for his father when alone
As a night waits patiently for the day to break
As the dew waits for the early rays of the sun for a morning kiss
As the chicks wait in their nest for their mother
As a farmer waits for his crops to ripe
As animals in a forest wait, for rain in autumn
As a blind man waits for someone to help him across the road
As a flickering lamp waits for a fresh refill
But you came not, and I still wait for you
