I Can Wait
She said she'd be back sometime early Spring
It's Summer now - the days are long and hot
She's been delayed by some unforeseen thing
I can wait, for it is love is it not
I did not notice that the leaves have turned
Golds and reds cause Autumn to fill my thought
Seasons come and they go as I have learned
I can wait, for it is love is it not
I see the geese in "V" as they fly South
The snow will fall before the month is done
I recall the words that came from her mouth
That she'd return in Spring and bring the sun
The years have passed and I aged as I should
Love lasted all my life - I knew it would
