Waiting

i sit by the river 

   and 

           wait


 

i stand by the ocean 

        and 

                dream 


 

looking at the stars 

              sitting by the sun  

                        underneath a light blue sky 


 

and i could do this forever 

until i grow old 

and until my kids 

grow up and do the same thing 

as they wonder 

who they are meant to be
