Learn to wait -- life's hardest lesson Conned, perchance, through blinding tears; While the heart throbs sadly echo To the tread of passing years. Learn to wait -- hope's slow fruition; Faint not, though the way seems long; There is joy in each condition; Hearts through suffering may grow strong. Thus a soul untouched by sorrow Aims not at a higher state; Joy seeks not a brighter morrow; Only sad hearts learn to wait. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...CONTRA MORTEM: THE LEAVES by HAYDEN CARRUTH LOVE BEING ALL ONE by ROBERT FROST MEMORY by GEORGIA DOUGLAS JOHNSON OF ANY OLD MAN by ISAAC ROSENBERG COLD HANDS WARM HEART by KAREN SWENSON NEW NEIGHBORHOOD by KAREN SWENSON |
