We set a date---a family date.
There are no highheels and fancy clothes on family dates.
There's just ordinary clothes and everyday shoes.
We may visit the park
or just get an ice cream or two!
We don't set high expectations
We only desire that we are all together.
For now there are only three
But all around us are the whispers of the
unseen faces
that all belong in this family.
Three are those that have gone ahead
Already living in the life that's to come.
One (the loudest whisper) has yet to
join this family.
Yet, he's there and we wonder
What he looks like
What he smells like
What his laugh sounds like.
If he'll like us and maybe one
day love us.
For now, we have our family dates with only the
hope of him.
But soon, we have the reality of him.
Until then...
we wait.
