The Gathering

Like Goldilocks finding her medium
                        without her porridge too hot
                        I patiently searched for places
                        to share my innermost thoughts

                        Discovering a private corner
                        this quiet little space
                        Whispers of love and promise
                        renewed my peace and faith

                        Among this gathering of friends
                        unexpectedly I came to find
                        A brother, a sister, new life to be born
                        even a partner in crime…

                        Open arms and honesty
                        calmed my restless soul
                        I welcomed new memories –
                        the beautiful stories yet to be told

                        You set me free to love
                        and to give so selflessly
                        In the prayer that I might one day
                        share eternity
                        (I trust you implicitly)

                        Wisdom, grace and blessings
                        happiness abounds
                        I cherish you my family
                        a circle of love I’ve found

                        On the darkest of your nights
                        I will strive to give even more
                        Song and prose, foot of the bed,
                        even locked outside of your door…

                        The future will bring new life
                        I rejoice in hope and prayer
                        that you will somehow know
                        I will always be there

                        The little ones will grow and learn
                        Ffllowing your beautiful way
                        It brings me joy and thankfulness
                        More than I can convey...

                        Now Goldilocks in her bed
                        the one that feels “just right”
                        Sleeps soundly, content and comforted
                        Patiently waiting…
                        Living and learning…
                        Loving and hoping…
                        to walk with you into the light
