Preparing Your Room
Ashly Ash
We have been switching the two rooms upstairs and preparing one of them for a child. Though this has not materialized at this point we are taking a step of faith and preparing the way. No matter how our child comes (by natural way or adoption) we are longing for that day and treasure the journey along the way.
As I sit in the midst of all of this stuff
Some of the things that made me tough
Childhood memories are here abound
Dolls, tea sets, books lay around
I see my set of American girl dreams
The piles will never be sorted it seems
We are preparing your room and making way
Praying and hoping you come one day
Sooner than later the wait is so grating
Here in the process of never-ending abating
But this is here for you
All this is for you
New to you
Deciding what things are important for growth
Enjoying this time and making the most
Everything in your room will have meaning
Each single item has taken years of my gleaning
Surrounded by childhood and surrounded by fun
I laugh then I cry for a child I have none
We are preparing your room and making way
Praying and hoping you come one day
Sooner than later the wait is so grating
Here in the process of never-ending abating
But this is here for you
All this is for you
New to you
The prayers from this place are an arrow to heaven
May they rise the way my bread does when leavened
Until then I will prepare, a lonely woman lunatic
While going through every old childhood flick
Knitting in this room a blanket for future
Preparing for the day when I may nurture
We are preparing your room and making way
Praying and hoping you come one day
Sooner than later the wait is so grating
Here in the process of never-ending abating
But this is here for you
All this is for you
New to you
