For Five Years

For five years,
You taught me patience,
You taught me waiting,
You taught me persistence.

For five years,
You taught me calm,
You taught me courage,
You taught me relentlessness.

For five years,
You taught me strength,
You taught me trust,
You taught me hope,

For five years,
I held on to the one
Who has every capacity
To handle battles of life.

Now it's time,
The battle is over,
The siege is over,
The war is over,
The trials is over,
The waiting is over.

Now it's time,
After five beautiful years
Of holding on to manifestation
For me to show you
All the love
I have preserved for you.
Which I have spent time
To culture over and over again.

Now you are finally here,
I can hold you
And wrap you in my arms
Cause the wait is over.

For five years,
I closed the door
On hopelessness and disappointment
Finally my faith is rewarded.

Thank you Jesus
For the beautiful princess
You finally sent down to earth
At your own appointed time.
