Name Without A Face

NAME WITHOUT A FACE

A name without a face

the outline, in my mind, I trace

I try to picture the things that I've heard about you

Blond hair like your brother, and eyes of blue.

They tell us that we have to wait

There is a lot of legal red tape

But, in our hearts, you are already our son

We don't need the legalities to be done

A name without a face, yet I know,

one day soon we will be together & say our first 'hello'!

Your Daddy will wrestle with you & teach you how to be a man!

He will smile & make you laugh, like only he can!

Oh how I long to hold, cuddle, & kiss you, as your mother

"Lil D" longs to grow up with his 'baby brother'

Yet, a name without a face...still we have to wait

I pray that the time is short & I contemplate

I look at the room that you will be in

I picture the cradle, & sigh from within

I imagine you in my arms & cooing up at me

Daddy & Dakota looking over with glee.

I picture you a little older & swinging in the yard

A family, altogether, even sending announcement cards!

Oh how I long for the day that you will truly be ours

The days go so slowly...I'm counting the hours!!

A name without a face, but only for a little longer

Some day soon we will be together, we just have to be stronger.

I love you, dear Nickolas, even now ... without a face to the name.

I look forward to the day when we can proclaim...

You are no longer a name with out a face!
