A to Z Writing Challenge - W for Waiting

Who can identify

With the word 

‘Waiting’ right now?

Around the world

We are waiting

To see what is possible

If not probable

For this week 

And the next

Will we be able to drive

Or eat out

Or go to work?

Things we have 

Always taken for granted

All put on hold

But wait

What’s this?

A missive

From afar

Stating that life

Is already happening

While we are waiting!

Have we missed it?

Oh no!

Because this is our life

Like it or not

And as we yearn 

For something else

We have lost it

Wait no more.
