Wanting
Wanting a beauty that eludes me
Not just inside but for all to see
Wanting a home without all the walls
No highs, no lows just spring and fall
Wanting cool breezes and soft green grass
The scorching heat and winter to pass
Wanting my children's laughter to fill my ears
To dry my sorrows and drown my fears
Wanting the romance to begin anew
Not separate, not alone, not one but two
Wanting to smile at simple things
Like baseball games and playground swings
Wanting to feel the heat of a touch
Where words are not needed, at least not much
Wanting the demons to stay at bay
Not to fear them day after day
Wanting the rain to wash away my sins
No past to haunt again and again
Wanting to feel wanted most of all
Put on a pedestal, maybe a little too tall
Wanting it all but I'll settle for some
Maybe just for life not to come undone
Wanting, wishing, and praying these things
Now I'll wait to see what God brings
