my prayer

that i won't be walking
or even running
let it be flips of flight
side to side
highest heaven's heights

towards you as you wait
watching and upon reaching you
i'll wrap heaven's arms around
and with all the love inside
carry you as i continue flight

joy in my heart
and laughter loud 
on your face
grace, grace
Your amazing grace

the gift of your samuel
held me expected in the wait
the holding a receiving
of the softest
hardest grace

for my samuel
for the path to her,
and after,
thank you

for the path with her
bless it, length and goodness!

for the gift of words at her birth
i'll treasure and believe and revel
as i breath breaths here and live
the "watch and see"

grace! grace! to it!
until you see fit
***
to laugh
***
& dance
***
with me
