when

when you ace the math test
when you write that report
when you get a snow day
when your finals are done 
when you wear the black gown
when you earn your bachelor's
when you earn your master's
when you lose five more pounds
when you land the right job
when you meet the right one
when you cross the threshold
when you have the baby
when you have the baby
when you have the baby
when they're finished nursing
when they're out of diapers
when the job is steady
when the dinner is made
when you lose five more pounds
when the house is all clean
when the bonus check comes
when the children start school
when you find a new job
when you get through this phase
when the prozac kicks in
when the drama's over
when the mess is cleaned up
when the house is quiet
when you finish grieving
when forgiveness kicks in
when it's back to normal
when you can trust again
when the drama's over
when the children leave home
when you finish grieving
when you finish grieving
when you finish grieving
when the papers are signed
when you finish grieving
when the bonus check comes
when the mortgage is paid
when the chemo's over
when the grandkids go home
when the remodel's done
when your mom gets better
when your father is dead
when the sun shines again
when the house is quiet
when the christmas tree's down
when your mom is buried
when you finish grieving
when you finish grieving
when you finish grieving
when your father is dead
when the chemo is done
when the pain goes away
when the house is ready
when you lose five more pounds
when the house is all clean
when your father moves in
when the alzheimer's wins
when the realtor calls
when the contract is signed
when you finish grieving
when the surgery's done
when you just have the time
when you get through this phase
when you can trust again
when you remember why
when you remember how
when
