Old yet new thoughts

I was looking over some of my old thumb drives and files I had stored on several hard drives.
I found several "works" that I had started.
A few poems I will share. These were written about 3 years ago, just after we were able to get our wonderful Boo through the miracle of adoption.
This has forever change my life

4am Feeding



You grasp my finger
In your small hand
(Which is not like mine
Yet it fits.)


You hungrily latch
Your lips on tight,
(Lips not like mine
Yet I make them smile.)


You gurgle then
Grunt your special
Noises, (that I encourage)
Stopping mid gulp to


Open your eyes
(That I did not give you
Yet they reach
Into my soul.)

I hear one small
Word in my
Mind, that settles
In my heart.


This you give
to me.
Simply
Dad.

Your body did not conceive me.

Yet your mind saw who I was.

I did not physically grow within you

But my soul started then

grew in your heart

It took longer for me to get here

Than you wanted

(We both had growing to do.)

I came when it was time.

I can not speak the words I want,

So I smile and hope you hear

These special words

That are just for you

“Hi MOM!”

Adoption Love moment #2



You have been in our
Prayers for over 3 years.
Hoping you would come.


We see your strength, your love
As you follow your heart.
Few can fully
understand your
Reasons,

Yet He knows
And is smiling


As you place
Your daughter
Into her mothers arms.




We hug, cry,
Melt into each other
The 3 of us

Forever bound
Together
Through the love
We have for
This small wiggling


Bundle.


This moment

Like our arms
Intertwining together
With the power of pure
Unselfish love.
