Waiting - by Thomas Hicks

This is bigger than nations.

Something too big for borders is happening here. This is more than relations. Something thicker than blood is pulling us near. Somewhere there is a hand that needs another to hold, And here I am with my hand empty. Across an ocean a cheek needs a good-night kiss, And these words are the kiss I’m sending. I am waiting for you, you are waiting for me, there is nothing but time between us. I’ve never met you but you are all I can see. I’m just praying that you can feel this. A tiny heart beats inside your little chest and every beat is in step with mine. If I could open my heart like a locket, a tiny picture of you is what we would find. Every morning I pray for your safety, And every night I ask for your peaceful sleep. And every morning when you wake wherever you are is another day closer to me. I am waiting for you, you are waiting for me, there is nothing but time between us. I’ve never met you but you are all I can see. I’m just praying that you can feel this, too… Everybody around the world sing “I need somebody to love”… From me to you, wherever you are, I am coming for you, I am coming with love… I am praying for you there waiting for me. Ten thousand miles is only a day. When the sun sets on you it rises on me. One day closer that you’ll come home to stay. I am waiting for you, you are waiting for me, there is nothing but time between us. I’ve never met you but you are all I can see. I’m just praying that you can feel this. ©2007 Thomas Hicks - All Rights Reserved

 

Did I already mention white sandy beaches????????

Boracay

Halfway into our 16th month...we are still waiting for our baby!  I know that some of you are on the same boat, waiting for "the call", some of you have already gotten "the call" and waiting to travel, and still others have already traveled and brought your babies into their forever family!!! Well, we did travel to the Philippines a couple of months ago for a vacation and it was lovely! The highlight of our trip was a journey to Boracay! This unspoiled island has lush foliage, extensive marine life, and unspoiled white sandy beaches!!! We can't wait to get our referral and grow our family with the arrival of our child. We hope that the next time we travel to the Philippines, it will be to meet him/her! At that time we are certain that we will make this trip again to Boracay with our precious little one!!! I can't wait to introduce her to this slice of paradise...
