POEM

A POEM FOR JAYDEN


A half a world away
sometimes it seems we're so far apart.
But half a world away
is not too far for a journey of the heart.

Our little one, our bundle of joy
we are waiting for you.
Our precious son, our baby boy
we know you're waiting too.

A half a world away
a child waits for a family of his own.
While half a world away
a family waits to come bring him home.

Our little one, our bundle of joy
we are whispering a prayer.
Our precious son, our baby boy
we hope to soon be there.

We hope that we will no longer be
a half a world away!

Congratulations! I'm glad you like my poem. Here are the actual words: (lyrics, since it is a song)

Half a world away
Sometimes it seems we're so far apart
But a half a world away
Is not too far for a journey of the heart

My little one, my precious joy
I'm waiting for you
My precious son, my little boy
I know you're waiting too

Half a world away
A child waits for a family of his own
While a half a world away
A family waits to come bring him home

My little one, my precious joy
I'm whispering a prayer
My precious son, my baby boy
I hope to soon be there

Half a world away
So many miles to bring you home at last
And half a world away
So many months of waiting are past.

My little one, my precious joy
You're fin'ly home to stay
My precious son, my little boy
We celebrate this day...

Knowing we will no longer be
half a world away.
