A Hopeful Adoptive Mother’s Prayer
Wet sloppy kisses and rocking to
sleep
Beautiful, tiny hands and perfect
little feet
The sound of baby sighs and cries
This is what I long for
Busy hands and pattering feet
Messy fun and learning new feats
The joy of Toddler discoveries
This is what I hope for
Bedtime stories and riding a bike
Off to school and oh so bright
The wonder of how fast they grow
This is what I wish for
Two hearts united in joy and pain
One Mother’s loss, another’s gain
The mystery of adoption love
This is what I cry for
Welcoming arms and open hearts
A family formed, no longer apart
The Journey of Parenthood beginning
This is what I ache for
Whispered prayers and silent tears
Our “Happily Ever After” finally here
The miracle of motherhood
This is what I pray for
 |
| A room full of hope... |
 |
| waiting for... |
 |
| a prayer to be answered. |
