.
I waited long, too long, it seemed
And nothing came to flower
My work, my passion and my dreams
Were locked in some far tower
.
“Be brave, walk not by sight, but faith”
At last, I finally heard
I left the crowd and quit the race
And listened to the Word
.
And now the spring has come at last
And opened up the tomb
Disappointment now is past
And every tree I planted is in bloom
.
Look here and there and everywhere
And see the vivid color
The seed explodes into the vine
And light goes on forever
.
And every day the postman brings
More dividends and praise
My friends all write and come around
And talk of our old ways
.
I dreamed of having such a day
To be by love surrounded
With afternoons to run and play
With interest all compounded
.
The sunlight rushes through the panes
And glory fills the room
And I am shocked to see the world
When every tree I planted is in bloom.
