adopting 2


also written 5/26/10, waiting for our first adoption match

You’re moving
From a dream in my heart
To a person in my hands

From an idea
To a baby
Arms and legs and twinkling eyes

I’m starting to believe
I will love you
Even more than the hope of you

And as I lift you
From your basket
We become a family

Today
You are safe, nestled in your mother’s womb
She will give you life
Because of love

You are a survivor
Your generation is decimated
An empty crib, an empty crib, and then you

As she lets you go
You’re falling, falling
Into the hands
Of family

You will stand
A sign in your generation
A voice for life and love
