"Worth Waiting Forever For" ~~~~~ From grassy slopes she stood facing the turbulent sea, Searching for her childhood dreams of a handsome prince, To come sailing along and capturing her hearts desire. ~~~~~ Waves crashing into barrier reefs of jagged rocks she watched, As ship after ship passed by beyond the rocky cliffs, Hair blowing in the misty salty breeze she stood dreaming. ~~~~~ Sails flapping in the breeze as red sunlight bounced from fluffy clouds, Wishful look in her stare as the evening's dusk slowly falls, A sigh escaping into the winds hollow breath of misty salty air. ~~~~~ Standing on green grassy slopes lost in make believe, Waiting for a handsome prince to come sailing along, As waves washed across barrier reefs of jagged rocks. ~~~~~ Brown eyes reflecting the fading sunlight's last gleam, Smile tugging at the corners of her lips she stood proud, Because in her mind true love was worth waiting forever for. ~~~~~ copyrighted©November 14, 2008 Cliff Lawrence
