If Rainbow Walker wonders how long?  
Not long 
Time now seems an eternity 
but it is only seems that way 
but you will live to be 89 
and most of life is ahead 
you have time. 
Patience and endurance 
are the lessons you have to learn now 
because they will be what you need 
when true love comes. 
Unhappy now 
the longer it stays 
truly magnifys  
happiness  
when it finally comes;  
because devotion 
patience 
and belief in self 
are the stalwarts 
you need 
to make it happen 
when the opportunity comes.
