![]() WaitingA Poem by Sam Freeland![]() not for Godot![]() A minute till the gun
anticipating the breeze It will be a starboard start one that's sure to please The family came to watch
I know they want to see a win Everyone came to see what condition we are in When the gun is fired
the bullet will quickly come We will get what we had coming because what we did was dumb If this was only travel
to some far away place The bell would ring for parting we would get up and take our place When we are gone from sight
others will be waiting here Trying to conceal their sadness or should they give a cheer Their wait will soon be over
the guard will clear the room Should they wait for the hearse to take them to the tomb Don't ask and don't tell
your sorrow is your own Act your grieving part do it without a groan When your turn comes later
you can cry without the tears You have always waited bravely never showing your fears 1.15.2012
