When we began the adoption process almost a year ago, I found part of a poem about the relationship between the birth mother and the adoptive mother. I appreciated the sentiment of the poem, but it just didnt quite express my emotions. So I took the sentiment of the poem and created my own. Im not really a poet, but I enjoy writing when the mood suits me. After we returned from our trip to Florida, I remembered the poem, and found it and reread it. It amazed me how my feelings matched after meeting Carolyn. I just thought I would share.
All the words in the world
could never express what I feel for you.
I know our paths were meant to cross
I hope you share that feeling too
The day we had the pleasure of meeting
I saw your beautiful face
My heart was filled with such great peace
I felt our spirits embrace.
You have given me hope of a treasure
I know our paths were meant to cross
I hope you share that feeling too
The day we had the pleasure of meeting
I saw your beautiful face
My heart was filled with such great peace
I felt our spirits embrace.
You have given me hope of a treasure
worth far more than silver or gold
The dreams of a beautiful baby,
The dreams of a beautiful baby,
a precious new child to hold.
For too long my arms have been empty
My heart ached and tears filled the night
you truly are an answer to prayers
the triumph at the end of a fight
I am grateful to you for giving this gift
I am sure it is hard to do
I cannot imagine the strength it must take
I am sure it is hard to do
I cannot imagine the strength it must take
I sincerely admire you
You chose to take the harder path
You are proving your love is great
You are proving your love is great
The gift you give is a selfless one
Of love, of life, of faith
I promise you that I will speak
I promise you that I will speak
of the great courage that you have shown,
And that to this little one so loved,
You will not remain unknown.
I hope you will find comfort in knowing
This baby will be loved and cherished too
It will never want for anything
for I owe this blessing to you.
And that to this little one so loved,
You will not remain unknown.
I hope you will find comfort in knowing
This baby will be loved and cherished too
It will never want for anything
for I owe this blessing to you.
Thank you simply isn’t enough
No words can even come close
By taking this journey, by choosing me
you grant the gift I desire most
I pray for guardian angels to guide you
and ease your burden with each step you take
You are not alone in this journey
and ease your burden with each step you take
You are not alone in this journey
Together a life long bond we will make
Im not sure if Carolyn is sentimental, so if I am too much of a boob about this, I apologize. But my emotions regarding having a family, run very strong and very deep as does my gratitude for Carolyn and Chris!
