As you got up this morning,
I watched as you went to work
You went home and it seems
At bedtime I guess you felt too tired.
Have a nice day!

I watched you and
hoped you would talk to me,
even if it was just a few words,
asking my opinion or thanking me for
something good that
happened in your life yesterday,
but I noticed you were to busy trying
to find the right outfit to put on to
wear to work.
So I waited. When you ran around
the house getting ready I knew there
would be a few minutes for you to stop
and say hello,
but you were too busy.
At one point you had to wait fifteen
minutes with nothing to do except
sit in a chair.
Then I saw you spring to your feet,
I thought you wanted to talk to me,
but you ran to the phone and
called a friend
to get the latest gossip.
and I waited patiently all day long.
With all your activities I guess you were
too busy to say anything to me.
I noticed that before lunch you
looked around,
maybe you felt embarrassed
to talk to me,
that is why you didn't bow your head.
You glanced three or four tables over
and you noticed some of your friends
talking to me briefly before they ate,
but you didn't.
That's okay, there is still more time left,
and I have hope that you will
talk to me even yet.
as if you had lots of things to do.
After a few of them were done
you turned on the TV.
I don't know if I like TV or not,
just about anything goes on there and
you spend a lot of time each day
in front of it,
not thinking about anything-just
enjoying the show.
I waited patiently again as you
watched TV and ate your meal,
but again you didn't talk to me.
As you did your homework
I waited again,
as you did what you had to do.
After you said goodnight to your family
you plopped into bed and fell
asleep in no time.
That's okay, because you may
not realize that I am always there for you.
I've got patience more than you
will ever know.
I even want to teach you how to be
patient with others as well.
I love you so much that
I wait everyday for a nod,
a prayer,
a thought
or a thankful part of your heart.
It is hard to have a one-sided conversation.
Well, you are getting up again
and once again I will wait with nothing
but love for you
hoping that today
you will give me some time.
Your friend,
God
