Waiting

You mean everything to me.
I could not last a day
if I thought that you
didn't love me.
Every minute of the day,
voices tell me to despair.
There's no hope,
nothing to fall back on.
My security plans
have vanished to outerspace.
I know all I can do
is trudge on through
each heavy day.
Not just existing,
but living for you.
I know you strive to see
my flame burning with
radiating heat,
scorching all the dull
wicks surrounding.
So many winds try
to blow me out,
leave me in wisps of smoke,
but as long as your hand
shields my flame,
I will burn bright for you.
Nothing can hold me back.
I refuse to be distracted.
I'm on a mission.
I don't understand,
can't grasp the workings
of your perfect plan.
But I know you will
show me all in due time.
Father give me patience.
Give me your strength to wait.
Let me find my joy in you.
