Those who don't like it call it a responsibility; 
Those who play with it call it a game;
Those who don't have it call it a dream; 
Those who love, call it destiny.

Sometimes God who knows the best
will give us sorrow as a test.
Sometimes He will wound the heart
for greater wisdom to impart.

If we lose love, we lose it for a reason. 
That reason may be hard to understand
but whatever it is, we just have to believe 
that God takes away when He has
something better to give.

Why wait?
Because although we want to be decisive, 
we do not want to be impulsive.
Although we want to be swift,
we do not want to be hasty.
Although we want to hold on to the one we love, we do not want to 
lose
ourselves in the process.

If we want to run, we must first learn to walk If 
we want to swim, we must first learn to float
If we want to make love, we must first learn to love

In the end, it is still best to wait for the one we want 
rather than settle for the one that is available
It is still best to wait for the one you love 
rather than settle for the one who is around It 
is still best to wait for the right person

Because life is too short to waste on the wrong one 
Because waiting serves a purpose
Noble and mysterious, you have to know 
that flowers do not bloom overnight
Rome was not built in a day
A life grows in the womb for nine months 
Great love grows steadily over a lifetime 
Most good things in life take a long time 
And they are all worth waiting for

These, despite the fact, that although waiting
requires a lot of things --- faith, courage, and hope--- waiting 
guarantees nothing one cannot  imagine

After all, God in all His wisdom,
     asks us to wait, for no essential reason.
