Thanks to a good friend, we are made aware of National Poetry Month every year. Each April, he beckons us to join him in committing random acts of poetry and with it, kindness. I wanted to share the following in support of fellow adoptive families who are waiting for The Call and with our family and friends who wonder what sorts of daydreams go through our minds as we ourselves wait. Occasionally, The Wait is frustrating. Sometimes, it is peaceful. Mostly, it's full of blind hope and tireless love for someone we cannot even imagine yet. Always, it's too long.
Thoughts Along The Wait
Today you've never heard our name,
Tomorrow you will share it.
Today you've never seen our faces,
Tomorrow they will smile on you through tears of joy.
Today you've never known the warmth and security of our home,
Tomorrow it, and all we have, will be yours.
Today you don't yet know our love,
Tomorrow it will envelop you.
For we will be a family, forever.
