Dear A TIME,<br />
I sit alone, although many are around me<br />
My lips smile, my heart tries to follow<br />
The conversation flows around the table<br />
I listen, and dare to dream<br />
That in the near future, I will be the one<br />
To recount with nachas,<br />
Words from a sweet toddler<br />
One I can call my own.<br />
My eyes are open<br />
Yet they don’t see those nearby<br />
Only distant times and faraway places<br />
Once again I have a vision<br />
Of my hands cradling<br />
And my heart giving love<br />
An image that gives me chizuk<br />
To continue swimming<br />
In a storming sea, whose port is out of sight.<br />
A friend smiles to me from across the table<br />
She understands, her heart too, is longing<br />
Her eyes express words of encouragement<br />
Words that embrace my heart<br />
Another powerful wave is on the horizon<br />
We hold hands, duck our heads<br />
And my friend declares<br />
“Let us brave this challenge together”<br />
And now I am no longer alone.<br />
