Acquiescence

I count each passing hour,
always dream of what could be
If I was master of my time,
of what’s been granted me.

If rather than the world’s to take,
these days were mine instead
I’d venture after every dream,
each plan inside my head.

I’d sail off far away;
do everything I’ve longed to do.
Like wile away the hours,
slow and peaceful, next to you.

We could build a mighty fortress,
or escape to parts unknown
Then sail along the winds again,
and carry on back home.

I’d drift off to peaceful slumber,
leaving all my cares behind.
And with you there beside me,
I’d escape the rush of time.

But alas! Until that day comes
and I toss the clock away,
I’ll march on with every second;
soldier through each passing day.

And until that blessed day arrives,
when time belays its queue
I’ll trudge on in acquiescence
But, I’ll leave my heart with you.
