Waiting For Love?

There was a time, so long ago

When I believed I would fall in love

And it would be forever

But forever is a long time

And for me, it wasn’t meant to be

I’m okay with that

**~**~**

I was blessed with children

And as time went on

They were blessed with children, too

My heart is full of love for them

For family and friends

And I'm content

**~**~**

I did believe I would miss having a love for life

But my life is full of love

And I am missing nothing

If a LOVE should come along

It would take me by surprise

But I am not so old, even now

That I would not welcome it

**~**~**

I’m just too damn old

To seek it out and pursue it

So it you’re out there, LOVE

You’d better hurry up and find me

I’d be ready, but not necessarily waiting
