Waiting . . .

I sat down to write a song or poem about the waiting we've done to bring our little girl home - but what came out was more from the perspective of an orphaned (older) child. It's still a work in progress. Haven't decided whether to put it to music or not. It's been a long time since I've tried writing songs. :) I'm a bit rusty. Maybe I'll get my hubby to help. He's much better at it!!

Let me know what you think.

Waiting . . .

Waiting . . .
For a family to love
Waiting . . .
For a gift from above.
Waiting . . .
Will the day ever come?
I'm waiting.

Waiting . . .
For a parent's hand
Waiting . . .
For a brand new land
Waiting . . .
Do you understand?
I'm waiting . . .

Lonely and longing
A sense of belonging
Desiring to know how it feels
Safe and secure
In a love that is sure
As the wound in my heart heals

Here I am . . .
Ready to love
Here I am . . .
Sent from above
Here I am . . .
Today, can't you see?
Here I am.

Here I am . . .
Going home!
Here I am . . .
I'm not alone!
Here I am . . .
In a family!
Here I am.

Lonely no more
Someone opened the door
Of their mind and heart to see
The beauty of love
That is sent from above
in the form of a Family.

Waiting . . .
No more
Wonder . . .
What's in store
Wishing . . .
That more could stop
Waiting.
