Nervous anticipation
Totally excited yet scared to death
The date is set
But nobody is telling
Days come and days go
So far, everyone has been wrong
A master plan has been hatched
Preparations are under way
People speculate
Sift through all the clues
Years come and years go
Signs come and fade
Like a prey unaware
Unaware of the hunter
We wait, unknowing
Are we ready?
Decades come and decades go
Do we wait, alert?
Or will we be found wanting?
Could it be tomorrow?
What if it were?
Could it be this very night?
We do not know
No-one can tell
But it will be one day
Centuries come and centuries go
One day He will return
Will you be ready?
