Little Ruby
Are your tiny fingers cold?
Are you rocking to and fro?
Does your tummy have a bubble?
Are there arms around you now?
Are you lonely or afraid?
Is your heart feeling betrayed?
Is there kindness near to pat you
As you in your cradle lay?
All I have is my wonder of how you are
And a longing growing heavy in my heart
Little Ruby, tiny treasure
My baby, my dear
Little one, I'll be with you
Very soon, very soon
Tender heart, take your comfort
In the arms of those near
Til the day I can hold you, my baby
Do your memories, though few
Bring a smile of joy to you?
In your dreams are you drawn closer
To a hope that's yet to come?
Are there angels standing near?
Do they whispers comforts, dear?
Wrapped within their feathered wings, love
My affections do they sing?
All I have is my wonder of how you are
And a longing growing heavy in my heart
Little Ruby, tiny treasure
My baby, my dear
Little one, I'll be with you
Very soon, very soon
Tender heart, take your comfort
In the arms of those near
Til the day I can hold you, my baby
Til the day we will hold you, our Ruby

"To those who wait, time opens every door." -- Ancient Chinese Proverb
Matthew 25:35 "For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me."

I'm so sorry Emily hasn't been feeling well! I'm praying for her. Ruby looks like she has always been in that family picture! I'm so excited that she is finally where God intended. I can't wait until she is home. I'm even more excited that home is just down the street from me! YEA!
