(6) Ladies in Waiting

Thank the Lord that we have made it past
our Disney spoon-fed fantasy, for we
have dared to dream inside of Jesus' magic Kingdom
and we've baptized our Prince Charmings!
Those worldly womens' worldly hopes
have nothing for us Princesses--
for the men that God has promised us
are handsome, rugged, helpful, wise,
considerate, articulate, artistic, kind, AND pious!
...now we just have to find them.
Good Lord, that's not the kind of guy
that one can just bump into on the subway!
But if this waiting is our greatest test,
we ought to guard our hearts a little extra
lest we're tempted just to settle for some peasant 
just because he's honest, true, and thoughtful
and understands the grace of Christ enough
to show a bit of it to us...
but thank Jesus we've grown past that.
