Day 17 of Advent: Advent Poem

AdventWaiting and wantingIs waiting all about wanting?Waiting for treasure.Waiting for love.Waiting for passage.Waiting for arrival.Waiting for release.Waiting for relief.Waiting for peace.Ahh...Christmas Day.All's turmoilAnd then all is fulfillment--or not.Once the wanting is past,the waiting is finished,the treasure, the love, the passage or arrival, the release or relief,the peace--is all in our hands.The waiting is over.Do we know what we have?By Susan Philips
