Family Matters<br />

Matrimony<br />

Anne Maarit Ghan<br />

So wild and free<br />

and glad to be<br />

alone<br />

We ran through fields<br />

of lofty yields<br />

full-grown<br />

From seeds of love<br />

that God above<br />

had sown<br />

A wedding band<br />

adorned my hand<br />

to show<br />

The reason for<br />

why ever more<br />

love's glow<br />

Would kiss my face<br />

in each embrace<br />

and grow<br />

The Waiting Game<br />

Jonathan Levitt<br />

This child that grows inside my wife<br />

Is the piece I've been missing for all of my life<br />

I'm counting the days til my baby is born<br />

Until I can comfort, and love, and keep warm<br />

It seems like forever I've wanted this gift<br />

The love of a child, a love that I've missed<br />

My words simply speak of a feeling so strong<br />

To finally make good of my childhood wrong<br />

To love and protect this brave little soul<br />

Who knows not my need for one simple goal<br />

To be the best father I truly can be<br />

And give him the things I wanted for me<br />
