Half A World Away

Today I find myself thinking of Channing constantly. I think of her so much, but today seems different. I guess it might be because I'm working on my quilt wishes, Immigration/Sponsorship papers, and Grandma & Grandpa are getting their 1st Hep A & B shots. So this is for my dear baby Channing:

Half A World Away

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 daughter, my baby girl

I know you're waiting too

A half a world away

A child waits for a family of her own

While a half a world away

A family waits to come bring her home

My little one, my bundle of joy

I'm whispering a prayer

My precious daughter, my baby girl

I hope to soon be there

I hope that we

will no longer be

a half a world away
