Waiting for Promised Blessings

With honest, desperate tears

How? I question my faith!

After ten long years, we've fears

My hope's losing strength

For blessings assure they'll come

And our arms eagerly await

For the joy to become

Parents! We know we'll be great!

Meanwhile our families gather

And others easily have many

They share our pain on this matter

Still we grieve more we've not any

I try to fix my wife's hurt

The aching hole in her heart

We know we are not the first

But, God's promise makes this hard!

I would trade in every trip

Every night we've slept well

Every moment of free time

To soothe our child, overwhelmed

Help us find that joy

That surpasses understanding

A sweet girl or boy

Our own miracle for handling

Oh God, hear our prayers

Forgive us of our grief

We shed helpless tears

Help us in our unbelief
