Slowly Trickling
August 1, 2009
Late night hour when everyone is asleep
My mind drifts to thoughts so deep
Thoughts about our future together
Being unable to wait till we share shelter
But time seems bent on slowly trickling by
As I’m trying to make this PhD degree fly
Yet, there is a good reason for this slow phase
We know each other, but things need to be in place
You working on getting your license to educate
While I’m building a background for siblings to emulate
We’re improving apart and climbing individual ladders
So that when we do become one, we’ll be true leaders
With a wealth of work from the left and right
Me with science and arithmetic and you with art
My dear, don’t fret, worry or think of 1000 reasons
Everything has its time, place and season
Our seed will be an oak tree soon enough
As time will serve it’s purpose as manure
And when the moment is right, you’ll know
Because on one knee I’ll bow
