Not My Plan

Not My Plan

My eyes long to see you

Now you behold Him

My arms ache for you

Now you know perfect love

My ears yearn for your voice

Now you sing His praises

I desire to feed you

Now you will never hunger

I anticipated the pitter-patter of your feet

Now you play at His pierced ones

I dreamed of years of love and laughter

Now you will never know pain

I loved to watch you grow and develop

Now you are perfect

This isn't how I planned

But I know He loves you

And Me.
