In Line (Part 1 of 2 "Always My Turn")

Dear Lord, someday, if you've got the chance...
    Please take a peek, just a quick little glance.

I'm in line, Lord, just waiting my turn...
    Being patient has been quite hard to learn.

I know I'm not being ignored...
    The waiting and waiting makes me bored.

Dear Lord, someday, if you've got some time...
    Please notice my struggles are at their prime.

Patiently waiting, I hope you see soon...
    Lonely nights, gazing up towards the moon.

I know there are many whos pleas are worse...
    But all I ask is to rid me of this curse.

I wish I could awaken each day feeling strong...
    I need help, Dear Lord, must I wait long?

Please let me know, Lord, when I'm next in line...
    I'll be here waiting, Dear Lord, till you have the time.
