Everything Waiting by Beverly Voldseth
Echoes of the word “waiting” from last week’s Sunday Morning Lyricality drift into this week’s offering, “Everything Waiting” by Beverly Voldseth. My mother would encourage me in times of trouble to “count your blessings.” That sort of listing is where this poem begins and then, as all good poems do, it opens out to include the unexpected and becomes an anthem for hope and the anticipation of receiving the possibilities offered in another day.
