Patience

Why, oh why, do we argue so?
God knows I love you, more than you know
We are separated, not only by miles, but also by bars,
I only pray that we haven't gone too far.

I know you love me - for your eyes tell me so
You know I love you - for my soul tells you so
So how do we wind up arguing like we do?
Our words shouldn't hurt each other, but they always do

I hope our love is strong enough to pull us through
there is one person that needs us so - I know you know who
It is our precious little boy, who is so like you-
It hurts me so, because we are both without you

But it won't be long, and in this I have faith
Good things come to those who wait
Well, I am waiting - for as long as it takes
And until that time - I'll be patient, but
it needs to be SOON, for goodness sakes!!
