Every night I laid awake and prayed to Him alone.
"Dear God," I said, "please send to me a man to call my own.".

They say He is a gentle one, full of love and care,
and for the sake of those who ask, He always answers prayer.

He always answers without fail, but in His own strong way;
whether "Yes," or "No," or "Maybe so" we are not the ones to say.

The years went by but no one came, and so I felt betrayed.
Why when I asked but one small task, could I not have my way?

Then one day I met a man with eyes sincere and true,
and finally did I understand, He was saving me for you.

Freckles,
This is very good.  It is true that we don't always have our prayers answered right away. But God has even greater things in store for us, if we put our faith in him.

Thanks for the encouraging words samson....though it is what needs to be done, sometimes it is hard to "let go and let God".
