A poem by Jan Richardson
Who wait
for the night
to end
to end
bless them.
Who wait
for the night
to begin
for the night
to begin
bless them.
Who wait
in the hospital room
in the hospital room
who wait
in the cell
in the cell
who wait
in prayer
in prayer
bless them.
Who wait
for news
for news
who wait
for the phone call
for the phone call
who wait
for a word
for a word
who wait
for a job
a house
a child
for a job
a house
a child
bless them.
Who wait
for one who
will come home
for one who
will come home
who wait
for one who
will not come home
for one who
will not come home
bless them.
Who wait with fear
who wait with joy
who wait with peace
who wait with rage
who wait with joy
who wait with peace
who wait with rage
who wait for the end
who wait for the beginning
who wait alone
who wait together
who wait for the beginning
who wait alone
who wait together
bless them.
Who wait
without knowing
what they wait for
or why
without knowing
what they wait for
or why
bless them.
Who wait
when they
should not wait
when they
should not wait
who wait
when they should be
in motion
when they should be
in motion
who wait
when they need
to rise
when they need
to rise
who wait
when they need
to set out
when they need
to set out
bless them.
Who wait
for the end
of waiting
for the end
of waiting
who wait
for the fullness
of time
for the fullness
of time
who wait
emptied and
open and
ready
emptied and
open and
ready
who wait
for you
for you
o bless.
