Alek Manas is Half a World Away

Another week has past, and another year has begun.  May 2012 be the year that the Kyrgyz 65 have been waiting for.  Below is the poem that was shared by Chistina and Tom Lunn.  Please meet their son, Alek Manas. 

A half a world away

Most days it seems we are so far apart

But a half a world away

Is not too far for a journey of the heart

My little one, my bundle of joy

I continue to wait for you

My precious son, my sweet boy

I know you are waiting too

A half a world away

A child waits for a family of his own

While a half a world away

A family waits to bring him home

My little one, my bundle of joy

I am whispering a prayer

My precious son, my sweet boy

I hope to soon be there

I hope that we one day

We will no longer be

A half a world away.....
