Missed Opportunity

There was once a boy

Who wasn't that old

Who said that one day

He would change the world

So he prayed to God

And asked for a sign

That someone would come

And tell him, "It's time."

He waited a month

To meet this one man

But he didn't show

According to plan

And so he prayed again

And asked for a sign

He knelt then told Him

"God, give a reply"

Then the years would pass

And the trees would grow

That someone he hoped

Did not again show

He was now a lad

Still with many dreams

Yet he only waited

For the guy it seemed

He did nothing new

Only ate and drank

He slept everyday

His life became blank

But he prayed to God

Every single day

Hoping that one night

He would find his way

And so he waited

And the years passed too

He now became old

And his face turned blue

And on his death bed

He prayed one last time

Asking God to tell

When he will arrive

But no one came by

And the dying man frowned

He took his last breath

As his hand fell down

When he reached heaven

He soon talked to God

He asked Him one thing

"Where was the man, God?"

At first was silence

That came all around

God then spoke to him

And uttered His sound

"Child, you have waited

When you could have known

That the man I sent

Was you all along"
