Wait and see ...
when my mother
decided to step out of life
and leave behind the pain
pinned to her heart
you said to me
"Wait and see ..."
and i guess i knew
what you meant
at the time
but now i'm not so sure
because over the years
it seems folks
have been pinning that same pain
to my heart
and to be honest
it weighs heavy
and holds the ship
in the harbour
and maybe
just maybe
you'll come by again
someday soon
and explain to me
what it is
we're waiting for
