So many little ones sit in wonderment <br />Sitting and waiting far, far away - <br />Your friends go before you <br />Waving with happy, hopeful faces. <br />Will your turn ever come, you cry? <br /> <br />Where are mommy and Daddy? <br />Death came too quickly for some. <br />Others have given up hopes and dreams, <br />For life has dealt them terrible blows, <br />Leaving their babies to ache and yearn. <br /> <br />And here I sit pondering our fortune - <br />One beautiful son we have been blessed. <br />So much love overflows in our family <br />Surely one more sacred miracle awaits us. <br />Could it be a little one who sits far away? <br /> <br />His face is bare and his age unknown - <br />But tears are heard at night by our bedside. <br />He calls out to be loved by someone. <br />Our work is done, the month is coming. <br />Do not be afraid, son, you’ll soon be home. <br /> <br /> <br />http: //allpoetry.com/poem/4549485<br /><br />Kim Schilling<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-child-awaits/
