If Only You'll Wait

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

I can put tea on for two I can clean this place and make it like new I can iron my suit and flatten out the wrinkles if only you'll wait I can think things over I can brush my teeth and hair I can open up the windows invite the breeze and sunshine in if only you'll wait I can straighten this out I can grow muscles and a big smile I can patch over holes and fill ditches in I can chase away your nightmares and forget about mine if only you'll wait I can build us a white house with balconies and gardens I can get back into shape I can paint you a pretty picture cool blue seas and vermillian trees I can disinfect my hands and sterilize my past time is on your side because I am as well if only you'll wait if only you'll wait GBEdon't get involved with an impatient perfectionist Written March 13th, 2002 © on Mar 13 2002 04:25 AM PST   10 • 0 • 8
