Right Around the Corner

Right around the corner a family grows
Right around the corner, when? No one knows

Right around the corner love blooms
Right around the corner no more sadness looms

Right around the corner a life complete
Right around the corner another heartbeat

Right around the corner a daughter waits
Right around the corner in China lies our fate

Right around the corner, so close yet so far
Right around the corner we wish upon a star

Right around the corner love grows again
when we meet our daughter, our new, loved friend.

Baby You Belong

There’s a reason why
You can look up every night
And every star in heaven’s in its place
There’s a reason why
The full moon pulls the tide
And the waves roll into a shore that always waits
And just like that

(chorus)
Baby you belong
Baby you belong
Nothin’s ever been so meant to be
Or ever felt so right to me
Every single part of me believes
Baby you belong (in my life)
Oh, baby you belong (by my side)
There really is no mystery
I think anyone can see
That baby you belong with me

There’s a voice inside
And I heard it promise me
When you came along
I’d know you by heart
Like a familiar song
Every word is telling me
That the time has finally come
Now here you are
And I know for sure

(chorus)

Like the sun belongs up in the morning sky
For at least another million reasons why

(chorus)

A Thought During the Wait

“Patience is a hard discipline. It is not just waiting until
something happens over which we have no control: the arrival of the bus, the end of the rain, the return of a friend, the resolution of a conflict. Patience is not waiting passively until someone else does something. Patience asks us to live the moment to the fullest, to be completely present to the moment, to taste the here and now, to be where we are. When we are impatient, we try to get away from where
we are. We behave as if the real thing will happen tomorrow, later, and somewhere else. Let’s be patient and trust that the treasure we look for is hidden in the ground on which we stand.” –Henri J.M.Nouwen

How far are You?
How close am I?
I know Your words are true when I don’t feel them inside
Still I believe You’ll never leave
So where are You now?

You’re all I have
You’re all I’ve known
Your breath is breathing in my soul
Still I am gasping, aching, asking,
Where are you now?

‘Cause I just want to be with You
I dream about Your promise to return
I just want this waiting to be over
And I wake up hangin’ on Your every word
I just want to be with You
For now my feet are planted here on earth
And it helps to know the Day is getting closer
And it helps to know the day is getting closer
But every minute takes and hour
Every inch feels like a mile
Till I won’t have to imagine
And I finally get to see You smile!

As I Head to Bed....

Somewhere out there, beneath the pale moonlight,
Someone’s thinking of me, and loving me tonight.
Somewhere out there, someone’s saying a prayer
That we’ll find one another, in that big somewhere out there.

And even tho’ I know how very far apart we are,
It helps to think we might be wishing on the same bright star.
And when the night wind starts to sing a lonesome lullaby,
It helps to know we’re sleeping underneath the same big sky.
