Waiting

To my dearest love, the one I have yet to meet,

I wait for you, my fair lady, with you, I am complete.

I have dropped my bow and taken off my chain mail,

I only think of joyful times, and I wait, as I have yet to lift that veil.

You have haunted my dreams for many a night,

Yet I wait here, a mere mortal, I am no longer a knight.

I have traveled far for many a lost cause,

But I am here now, waiting, a mere fragment of what I once was.

Nader has a wide background of experience in his upbringing, describing himself as “Basically a Chicago street thug combined with border town Texican and a side of Madison Midwesterner.” He graduated with a BA in International Studies from the University of Wisconsin, Madison, with a minor in drinking.
