Waiting

As through the stars you peer,

You follow what she's doing,

And long to see her, hold her,

Your beloved.

As through the stars we gaze,

With open face, moved to worship,

We long to see you, touch you,

Beloved One.

The promise has been made:

Two will join in marriage.

Heaven and Earth will meet

To celebrate.

But till the day dawns,

We yearn in midnight hours,

Watching, waiting, longing for

Your face.
