Half a World Away

Thanks to Audra at Charlotte Mommies for sharing this with me:

Here is a poem I found when I was searching for poetry! It made me think of you and your little Colin! Jill Work wrote this poem for her son-to-be Quinn, while he was 33 mos. old and waiting in Can Tho, Vietnam. It was sung at his baptism. Jill is the adoptive mother of two children.

Half A World Away
by Jill Work

A 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 bundle of joy
I'm waiting for you
My precious son, my baby boy
I know you're waiting too.

A 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 bundle of joy
I'm whispering a prayer
My precious son, my baby boy
I hope to soon be there.

I hope that we
will no longer be
a half a world away.
