Spin Cycle: Rhyme Time

Spin Cycle:

For this poem I wrote about the many years I had to wait for my beautiful youngest daughter to arrive. I had to wait for 5 long years of trying and failing. She and her sister are my greatest joys.

But after reading I realized that the same words could have been written about waiting for my husband too. I was 28 years old, lonely and had given up on ever finding the man that was meant for me. I had moved on. I had decided that I was going to live my life alone and was pursuing a future that way. Then along came Prince Charming, the most romantic, sweet, loving, kind-hearted man I have met. And I am forever grateful that when I stopped looking for him, he came looking for me.

Worth the Wait

I had a dream that you would be
I had a dream that you would come to me
And though you took your own sweet time
You were worth the hills I had to climb

When I am tired and feeling sad
I just remember the times that I had
I remember how long I had to wait
Leaving your arrival at the hands of fate

I love you more than you can ever know
I love you more than I can ever show
But no matter what the years may do
My love for you will carry me through.
