Somewhere

I came across this poem today.  I wrote this over 6 years ago, before I had met my husband.  Back then I could never have imagined what the Lord had in store for me!  The wait was long and at times seemed endless, but my Adam was well worth it!

My Somewhere

Somewhere in Your world, my Lord,
One caring voice leads a child in prayer,
Two strong hands reach to embrace the weak,
Wisdom-lightened eyes scan his world for the hurting...

Somewhere in Your world, my Lord,
Two burdened shoulders bow
In humble adoration at Your throne -
with voice seasoned with love and longing,
he prays for me
until we meet,
Somewhere in Your world, my Lord

Though near or far in presence,
I do not yet know,
but in Spirit
we are already
One...

So, until that day, when that practiced voice
leads our own child in prayer,
and those same hands team together with mine-
until our eyes focus on the same calling
and I kneel beside love-burdened shoulders,
sharing his grief, his yoke-
we will pray for each other
and praise You for guiding us
all the while closer
to Somewhere...
