Watching and Waiting
You continue to grow
Getting stronger and sure
Wanting to get it right
So you can endure
Cold as ice at times
Yet your heart warms through
Life’s struggles are
Still hard on you
Through work and through play
You are in control
Changing your life
Hardening your soul
You say you’re a survivor now
Needing to keep yourself secure
From the pain in the world
Your sanity to insure
Taking charge of your life
Decisions are now your own
Doing what YOU want
Together or alone
Before you make yourself
Too callous and cold
Remember the wonders
HE has made to behold
Friends and family stand firm
To help ease your aching
With loving eyes we are
Watching and waiting
