Adoption Baby

Adoption Baby

(for Cary & Becky)

Our spirits sang of you before your birth,

We loved you quickly and knew your worth.

And as we prayed for you (both day and night),

Know that your birth-mother chose your way, and Right.

But the waiting has been endless, so anxious, so hard,

Because you already held a lasting place in our hearts.

As the weeks went by, we sometimes cried.

                                     ( ...until good news came... )

So our promise of love could no longer be denied.

Each tear of joy fallen from our cheeks -- we would keep;

Of that first time we held you -- so tiny, so sweet.

Rock-a-bye baby, we will sing sweet lullabies,

For your presence brings happiness into our lives.

We will love you forever, innocent little one.

And make memories to treasure, for your life just begun.

-ooOoo-

We fell in love with you, the first time,

So we went and got you, for all time.

Without regret, you are now our child.

God led us to you, and we've taken our stand.

Frail and dear, now protected, adoption babe...

Alyssa Anne.
