More Than Waiting
(Awaiting word on adoption of three boys)
Praying, planning, dreaming,
What-if-ing, learning, reading,
These we do everyday as we wonder if you’ll come.
Self-doubting, worrying,
second-guessing, and pressuring God,
These we try hard not to do as we wonder if you’ll come.
Will you ever come to be with us?
We don’t know if it is God’s will.
Will we get to hold and love you?
Watch you grow and learn and love too?
Lord, please let us know. What is your will?
Others wait and wonder thus, ‘tis true.
How and when will we learn?
Could be softly on angel’s wings, or sudden, shocking, dropped on lap.
Minutes seem like hours,
Hours linger just like months,
As Venus’ days outlast the years,
So the time ticks and tocks and jeers.
And if it is to be God’s will,
I know we’ll cry and praise Him.
And if it is not to be God’s will,
I know we’ll cry and praise Him still.
