Lonely Heart on Saturday Night

I've been reading this book called "Non-Religious Guide to Dating and Being Single".  It has rocked my world in a very good way.  Anyway, I am learning how God is truly my fulfillment.  However, my battle with loneliness is still very much real.  A single woman on a Saturday Night, at home painting on canvas.  Usually  I am relaxed and enjoy painting but tonight---not so much!  I would rather be hanging out with people or even out on a date would be fun.  Haven't had one of those in years.  Yes!  I said, "Years!!!"  Anyway, this to will have to pass!

Sighs of Love (poem)

I wait for you
    Tapping my foot and looking at this thing called the "Biological Clock" going tick, tock, tick, tock

I wait for you
    As I feel the warmth of the sun on my face as I admire all of God's creation; I can't help but long to share these moments with you.

I wait for you
    Oh, the nights are cruel and lonesome.  I stare at the bed, it is bare and alone with stains of tears on my pillow --wishing you were there.

I wait for you
    I look into the crowds wondering if I will see you, meet you, hoping one of them would be you. But its not--maybe  tomorrow.

 I wait for you
    Battlefield to to the bed.  Man, what a fight.  Every song I hear is of love--where are you.  Every movie I watch---wow!  This is really bad, Hollywood-- you just lie and really do not help. 

I wait for you
    While I am waiting for you, my beloved, know that you have my heart.  I am counting down the days, the minutes and the seconds of every hour until we will be.....together.

 I wait for You---You Better Come Soon!!!

This poem I have personally written as a cry and prayer of my heart---waiting for my husband to come.  Choosing to live this life by faith and celibacy---isn't always easy.  I hear it's worth the wait.  My dear husband, my heart calls for you to come, so I  can find out what I've been waiting for!
