They said it would come at half four, I’ve been sitting here
for hours on end and still no delivery. Still I know I made that order, I’m
sure I got confirmation, my card details went in and I phoned to check so I’m
sure it is due any time soon.
Time lingers
along and it’s now five. How could this be? I’ll check my email, I’m sure it
was four they said. Minutes later, switches, lights, email, there I knew it
-1600hrs! This means four in the afternoon, there, let’s check the date… got
that right too, yet no delivery! I’ll call and see what happened.
Time lingers
along. Excuses, excuses, my goodness! Well I can live with this for a couple
more days and I’ll be away tomorrow anyway so it isn’t so bad. I don’t have to
sit here in despair waiting for it.
Time lingers
along. Things happen and I forget, the world changes, news, people, events and
then another week. I call them. It is confirmed they will make delivery without
fail on the Wednesday, this time it is AM delivery. Oh I like those for they
rarely fail.
Time lingers
along. Dear me, I was just in the bathroom for a minute, I mean what is this
world coming to. They came and left a note! Can you imagine, a note! Why didn’t
they just wait a little bit for me, I had been sitting right there all morning
and now this. Never mind at least I know that it would come. I just have to
book it for next time.
Time lingers
along. Oh well it doesn’t matter now, next week I’m busy and the week after
that I’m away they just have to bring it whenever they can. It serves them
right. Blasted thing, who needs it anyway. Bell rings! Who is it? Ah it’s them.
Grinning sheepishly as I receive the parcel. Finally, at last, my goodness, I’d
almost given up hope. Oh well I guess in this life one has to be patient.
Faith is
the credit card that paid the bill. Hope is confirmation and receipt of
payment. Patience is the virtue that in spite of all the mishaps that one may
face what we desire is en route to us. To those who desire, make your order and
do not give up on the service, all your wishes would come in good time. ‘Commit
thy way unto the Lord;trust in him and he will bring it to pass…’
