By Russell Kelfer, copyright 1995 Desperately, helplessly, longingly, I cried. Quietly, patiently, lovingly, He replied. I pleaded, and I wept for a clue to my fate, And the Master so gently said, “Child, you must wait.” “Wait? You say wait??” my indignant reply. “Lord, I need answers, I need to know why.
