Eternity

Waiting for retirement,
Waiting to pay off a house,
Waiting for decades.

Waiting to be an adult,
Waiting to drive,
Waiting for lustra.

Waiting to graduate,
Waiting for World Cups,
Waiting for years.

Waiting to give birth,
Waiting for Christmas,
Waiting for months.

Waiting for birthdays,
Waiting for a new football season,
Waiting for weeks.

Waiting for Recruiters,
Waiting for Loan Approvals,
Waiting for Days.

Waiting to finish work,
Waiting for TV programs,
Waiting for hours.

Waiting for buses,
Waiting for the final siren,
Waiting for minutes.

Waiting for lights to change,
Waiting to be served,
Waiting for seconds.

Yet no matter how long,
they all seem to take forever.
