Patiently Waiting

[pic via]

Baby, I love you, though God has not yet given you to me;

I have spent my whole life learning patience, and that is now what I am trying to be.

I love you though we have not yet met, and though you are not yet real;

Somehow you are in every thought, and love is all I feel.

You’re a dream I didn’t know I had, a prayer I didn’t know I would pray;

A song that I would sing to you, if only you would stay.

We want you in our life to share a love that is so strong;

And we will continue to wait for you – it does not matter how long.

We believe in God’s perfect plan, so you will come when the time is right;

And though you are not here yet, you are already Mommy’s delight.

I want to hold you in my arms and teach you to be great;

I want you to be our legacy, our destiny, our fate.

Your daddy and I love you, and we can’t wait for the day;

When we get to kiss you gently, and you will never go away.

We have a wonderful marriage, maybe this hardship is our test;

But holding hands together, we continue to pray for the best.

That you will grace our lives with greatness and make us a family;

So the love that is too much for two can soon be shared by three.
