A Bite of Life

Waiting for a letter that won't ever come.
Waiting for a job that will never be done.
Waiting for life to become what its not.
Waiting for a little to feel like a lot.
Waiting for death to sweeten its hue.
Waiting for dreams to become what is true.
Waiting for old age to turn back the time.
Waiting for a dollar to grow from a dime.

Hate not the bee.
Though honey lessens not the sting.
Hate not the see.
Though lies sweeten not the thing.
Hate not the work.
Though it means nothing.
Hate not the the day.
Though it refuse to sing.
Hate not the way.
Though it gathers no more wings.
Hate not the hurt.
Though it strengthen not anything.

Trying to tell the dog to not itch the fleas.
Trying to tell the garden to not grow the weeds.
Trying to tell the kids to not track in the dirt.
Trying to tell the heart to forget all the hurt.
Trying to tell the mind to accept what is dumb.
Trying to tell the bookworm, go out and have fun.
Trying to tell the tears, its not worth the fall.
Trying to tell the fears, don't worry, that's all.
