Album: When I Can't Speak
In her heart she holds her dreams.
That she's carried since the day she turned 13.
Of all that she would be when she was grown.
Of all that she would do when she was finally on her own.
She dreamed she'd fly.
And she's still waiting for the chance to try.
In the meantime she's a mother, and a daughter, and a wife.
Doing all she can to stay above the daily grind.
And she wonders when she'll ever have more meaning in her life.
She doesn't know she's being molded and refined.
In the meantime.
Someday she'll go back to school.
When the carpools and the soccer games are through.
Deep inside, she's still the girl who always felt the fire to make a difference in the world. She dreams she'll soar when she finally has the time to do more.
But in the meantime she's a sister and a teacher and a friend.
Hours turn into days that turn into years that never end.
And she wonders when she'll ever really find herself again but she's becoming one on whom God can depend in the meantime.
Heaven feels the joy of every victory in her life.
And heaven hears her heart before she cries.
But somewhere in the middle of the triumphs and the trials, she's becoming sanctified. But in the meantime, she's an answer and a blessing and a gift to every empty, aching heart that only she can lift.
Still she wonders if she'll ever get to see where heaven is.
If only she could only see her mansion waiting there.
If she could only feel how much her Father cares.
She would know she's being perfectly prepared.
In the meantime.
