MEANWHILE (a poem on waiting)

Aug 162007

The rain is pouring

The sky is dark

There’ll be no hills to climb today

There’ll be no seas to cross

But I’ll sip my coffee

and I will be cozy

and enjoy the cool wind

blowing by

meanwhile.

The land is plowed

The seeds are planted

Yet harvest time has not arrived

But I’ll watch the sunset

and my fields of gold

and I’ll take

a sweet little nap

meanwhile.

Yea for those who wait

for their tomorrows

let none then waste

of their todays

For all is well

and all is fine

for those who pray

and smile

meanwhile.

“Meanwhile” is a poem on waiting, one of the hardest things we ever do. No one likes waiting, and rarely do I here of people saying poems while waiting! :-) Yet there are times when there is really nothing we could do but wait, and while doing so, may we never think that our time is wasted, and that nature is not doing anything to fulfill our deepest desires.

Letters to Joyce

Agnes { Dear Joyce, Hi! I have been an avid reader of your blog about a year an a half ago when I too have been experiencing heartbreak and burden in my life. Your words have really been a pat on my shoulder and a hug rolled in one. I am now in a year long relationship and life has been treating me well. It is not a perfect relationship, we do have our shares of ups and downs but we come out of each as a better individual and we grow and learn together through those past mistakes. I just... } – Feb 05, 3:53 PM

Tanya { Dear Joyce, I don't have a husband who physically abuses me but i have one who does so verbally and emotionally. He doesn't care whether we be in public places like malls, offices etc he just feels he needs to, in his own terms, "vent out his spleen". He had called me many things and often times says that i am stupid. He said i needed to reform, and that the only way was "his way". for the past year i have been doing all he asks of me, i am not allowed to talk to my friends, neither am... } – Jan 24, 9:16 AM
Ivory { Hi Ms. Joyce I really need someone to talk to.. I can't open up to my family about my problem. The past few months me and my husband where talking about things we need to discuss together..I asked him to find a job and i will help him coz nahihiya na ako sa mga mom in law ko who's been supporting us for the past 4 years. I talked to him calmly.. But the last 2 weeks i never bothered him about it for i didn't see any willingness to work, coz he wants daw to build a business which... } – Jan 23, 12:41 AM
