I wait for no man,
And no man waits for me.
But still in time,
The bell will toll,
And the waiting will begin.
Now I sit and ponder,
The direction I must go.
Cuz while I wait for no man,
Time is moving on,
Soon the bell we’ll hear.
And so an age has gone,
The time is past and done.
The waiting game is over,
And time begins anew,
Waiting for the toll.
As I look back I see,
The waiting that was done,
While patiently remembering,
The virtue that it was.

As long as looking back and pondering helps shape our future, it’s OK. Dwelling on the past is not good.

We must never forget our past but neither should we dwell there. We simply use it as a resource.

Beautifully written young lady, that touch to make you think and ponder as your words remind us of times gone by…or what is to come 😀

No indeed Pam, it was hard enough living it without repeating it over and over in our minds. Mind you, those reminders do…well, remind us so we don’t keep making the same mistakes…too often 🤣

Words to definitely think about. Time moves on whether we want it to or not. I agree with Dan, giving some thought to the past can be insightful, but dwelling on the past is not productive.
If we’re patient, we’ll find out what the future holds.

I look forward with anticipation and with concern, in equal measure.

Patience is a virtue which I’m only slightly familiar with. But I’m working on it.

Your wonderful poem does remind me as to why we can’t really complain about the lack of virtuous behavior in the world. Not when you consider how impatient people can be!

Yes, looking back in order to use what we have learned to keep moving forward is the way to go. Those stuck in the past, go nowhere.
