Longing - Beth Morgan

As a child struggles to sleep on the eve of Christmas

While oppressed Israel lives for the Messiah's birth

As a family rounds the finish line of the third trimester

While a couple hopes to just make it past the first

As a groom looks for his bride to walk the aisle toward him

While a woman still dreams of ever one day being a bride

A world waits with expectant hope

While a world clings to promises, longing.
