The Wait Of Unimaginable Sorrow Poem by bob eichen

I crawl through life, my soul depressed,
I'm half a man, my self compressed,
I'm weighted down, by a million sorrows,
Now I face such painful morrows,
My heart! My heart, and spirit crushed!
And days ahead, cannot be rushed.
So great my load, my back is bent,
My mind is warped, my life now rent.
I plod through time, still so much left,
Why must I though? Of joy bereft!
I journey long, I bear the weight,
Though with each step I dread the wait.
When at last, can I dropp my load,
And reach the end of life's long road?
Finally set my burden down,
Feel you, again, my arms around.
Overwhelming grief, will fall away,
Oh how I yearn, for that happy day!
I love you son! I miss you so!
But it seems I've further, here, to go.
Until then, I will have to wait.
Till we meet again, and I release this weight!
