How Did We Get This Far

He hasn't arrived yet
Perhaps you think
He's not coming back

You have looked to the skies
After many a year,many a day,the prayers you have prayed
With tears in your eyes

And the year that we live in
Sounds impossible when
You say it out loud,how did we get this far

He hasn't arrived yet
perhaps you think
He's not coming back

And the year that we live in
Sounds impossible when
You say it out loud and how did we get this far

You may speak for me in this longing piece! Very beautiful!

I believe this poem could be taken in many ways - for me I thought of humanity and the return of Christ. A well-done, insightful write...

And if looked at in another light - of a long-time love that has ended, but so much shared in a lifetime- look how far we got - how could you not come back - we've been through so much, gotten so far...

Either way, excellent write
