Space

There’s a space inside me, a gaping hole,
That aches to be filled by another soul.
There’s a space in my life for one new being
Hungry for nourishment, love and caring,
There’s a space in my home waiting for a gift
From Him who receives the wishes I lift.
There’s a space in my heart that longs to love,
Waiting, hoping for an angel from above.
There’s a space in my ear that longs to hear,
A cry so sweet, a giggle so dear.
There’s space in my mind filled with knowledge
Sharing them with you would be my great privilege.
There’s a space in the nook of my arm,
Ready to hold you and keep you warm.
There’s a space in my being
Longing, longing, longing
