While we wait ...

While we wait,
Our hearts fill--
and our hearts break.

We have waited so long for you to come home,
There is relief in knowing
You cannot feel alone.
You are not here to feel this wait,
it is only our hearts that break.

Anticipation is a difficult walk
you are forced to be happy when your not
required to have hopeful talks
expected to be excited when you are simply sad
Riding the ups and downs of happy to mad.

But you, little one, are worth the wait
you are worth the tears, the smiles, and it all for Goodness sake!
You are going to come in on a breezy day
and change every little thing about our ways.

Until then, hold on for us to be near,
It cannot be long now, my dear.
Hear mommy and daddy when we say-
You are the reason we can get through these days.
