Description

ONCE when I was ever so young, I waited............. I was 14 and the boy was 15, and he said he would call, But he didn't Once I waited for a letter. We met at a ski resort in the Catskills, and promised to keep in touch. But we didn't. Once I waited for a job. I went for an interview, and they seemed quite pleased. But no one contacted me. Once I expected a promotion, but it never came. Then I found another opportunity elsewhere. But, Once I met him unexpectedly, and my life changed forevermore. Once I sent a manuscript along with a SASE, and it was never returned, but I received a check. Once I didn't wait, but took a chance, and I've never been sorry. Once I dared to dream, and magically most of them came true. Now, I find myself doing both. Today while I wait for those who I love to contact me I remember our yesterdays, but no longer wonder about tomorrows, Because I have at last learned neither to fear nor worry. Because I have known miracles and now believe that "The best is yet to be ."
