Watching, Wondering, Waiting


watching my children as they sleep

feeling a love so full and deep

my gaze falls upon the crib so still

empty and waiting, a child to fill


wondering if that day will come

heart aching sometimes, other times numb

countless prayers, hopes and dreams and tears

months passing by, even years


my children, my joy, my gifts from above

just asking for one more child to love
