Dollies!

Waiting, by J.S.H. (from my journal)

We wait

while the snow clings

and the seeds sleep

and the earth turns.

*

We wait

while the heart sings

and the eyes weep

and the mind churns.

*

We wait

while the soul learns

that the love's deep.

*

So the hope springs,

as the dream burns

and the days creep

till the phone rings-

*

And she waits-

(Sophie waits)

Happy New Year, Sophie!

We are so happy to finally be in the year 2005! This is the year that will bring us our baby girl, and for that, we feel so blessed. Only 3 1/2 more months until we see her darling face, and a month or two after that, we will travel to China where she will finally be placed in our arms. It won't be long now, but every minute seems like an eternity. We can't wait!
