"I'll wait a while longer".

Ill wait a while longer
Before I despair
Before I sink under my burden of care
Night cannot last alway there must be a morn
So Ill wait for the daylight & watch for the dawn.

Ill wait a while longer, tomorrow may be -
The brightest & fairest of morrows to me.
The birds may be singing the blossoms may start
In bloom & in beauty, be patient, O heart.

Ill wait a while longer, before I give up
Ill drink if it may be, the dregs from the cup.
Still watching, still hoping, still longing for day
Ill wait a while longer, and waiting Ill pray.
