God answers so many of my little prayers,
so why not the big ones too?
I just can't understand it
Why does He do the things he decides to do?
My deepest desire lies unfulfilled
I feel so hopeless inside
I know I should be thankful
and not so full of pride.
I ask God every day
for this or that, you know, little things.
And when He answers so clearly
my heart just really sings.
But in those deep, pondering moments
When I ask for the desire of my heart,
I get no clear answer
and then my tears start,
Oh God, I want a baby
to hold and kiss and love
I know that You alone can give me
that blessing from above.
I keep waiting, waiting, waiting
and my patience grows to despair.
Oh why can't I have a baby?
For nothing else I truly care.
I know You haven't forgotten me
for better things to do
because You answer all my little prayers,
I just wish You'd fulfill my big one, too.

When do I stop?
When do I realize it's enough?
Why does it have to be me
who has it so tough?
There are many out there
who are evil and perverse.
Yet do you burden them
with an infertility curse?
A 16 year old delivers
a healthy baby boy
then throws him in the garbage
like some old broken toy.
A drug addict
has 3 beautiful little ones
and beats them black and blue
for nothing they have done.
A worn-out woman
with already more than she can bear
sighs disappointedly
when she sees two lines are there.
God give me one, just one
to cherish all my days
And I promise that to you I'll give
all glory, credit and praise.
Make it stop
this intense longing and fear.
Please give me a child
that I can hold near!

Father in Heaven,

I never thought I would have a problem with fertility.
I supposed having a child was an assured ability.
Every month I pray to you for my own little blessing,
and every month I am left guessing.
Why is this happening to us?
What am I to learn from all this fuss?
Looking in your Word I see,
That you have the ability to make “us” a “we.”
Your timing is perfect and it is right,
Are you trying to teach me to climb to a new height?
You are my constant companion through this struggle,
While so many new emotions I juggle.
You hold my hand with each new test,
Lord, won’t you grant my request?
Send me a child to raise and guide,
This pain to you I confide.
O Lord, I promise, I will give him back to You,
And show him to his Creator always be true.
