Waiting Poem by Maddy Jones

Waiting

Rating: 5.0


Every night, and every day,
Theres a man who waits to die,
Frail and thin, wrinkled and gray,
The waiting feels heavy to sigh,

Too slow to die, too slow to live,
Waiting for his time to end,
Only hugs, has he left to give,
For as long as time will lend,

He's too tired to continue,
In misery and such pain,
But he keeps on waiting,
No release yet to gain,

He cries with his plight,
But with tears that are gone,
Theres no more to fight,
How long? Oh how long?
