Going The Distance 

Going The Distance 

As the clock ticks
And the crickets sing

As the days pass
And my needs rise

As my heart aches
And my eyes bleed

Your arrival is close
And my joy overflows

Now we’re together
The worst is over

As we have this moment
And the wait was worth it

As I have your hugs
And all your love

The days go by
And it’s time to say goodbye 

As the tears storm
And the worries return

I’ll be yearning
Till you’re with me again

  1. Your poems always have stories in them. I can totally relate to this.
