Square & Wish #1 - Lake Milton,Ohio


This quilt square was received from the Niccum family from Ohio on Saturday May 4th. The Niccum family is part of our agency's Quilt Square exchange group. This is what was written on the wish card:

A half a world away
Sometimes it seems we're so far apart
But a half a world away
Is not too far for a journey of the heart

My Little one, my bundle of join
I'm waiting for you
My precious daughter, my baby girl
I know you're waiting too

A half a world away
A child wait for a family of her own
While a half a world away
A family waits to come bring her home

My little one, my bundle of join
I'm whispering a prayer
My precious daughter, my baby girl
I hop to soon be there

I hop that we will no longer be
A half a world away.


Thanks Niccum Family!!!

Congratulations! I'm glad you like my poem! Here are the actual lyrics (the girl version):

Half a world away
Sometimes it seems we're so far apart
But a half a world away
Is not too far for a journey of the heart

My little one, my precious pearl
I'm waiting for you
My precious child, my little girl
I know you're waiting too

Half a world away
A child waits for a family of her own
While a half a world away
A family waits to come bring her home

My little one, my precious pearl
I'm whispering a prayer
My precious child, my baby girl
I hope to soon be there

Half a world away
So many miles to bring you home at last
And half a world away
So many months of waiting are past.

My little one, my precious pearl
You're fin'ly home to stay
My precious child, my little girl
We celebrate this day...

Knowing we will no longer be
half a world away.
