GOD WAITS
Ask not for whom God waits,
He waits for thee and me
We often leave home to seek
our fame or fortune
or simply seek our own way
Unfortunately, in our searching and
our seeking, we often, to our detriment
go astray, and we find our lives have
turned out to be much worse than
when we left home
After a while, we come to ourselves
and we realize that our present course
will not improve our life or lot
And so we decide it is now time and
in our best interest, before it becomes
too late, to return home
And unknown to us, with royal robe
and fatted calf, our father waits,
patiently and gently, for our return
