Waiting

Each day the same
Waiting, waiting.
Life on hold
Waiting, waiting.
Nothing changes
Waiting, waiting.
Sit and stare
Waiting, waiting

Waiting for breakfast
Waiting for tea
Waiting for lunch
Waiting for tea
Waiting for dinner
Waiting for tea
Waiting for bed
Waiting for sleep

On and on
Waiting, waiting
When does it end?
Waiting, waiting

Aahh

This poem was written during a quiet period in between lunch and afternoon tea whilst working in a care home for dementia patients.
