Poem by a Friend

Most people have NO idea what can be gained by the internet. 7+ years ago, I found a group of pregnant moms on iVilliage. We were all having December 2001 babies. We have become a tight group of friends. Through the good and the bad, we are there for each other. Yes, we have our rough patches, as any group of people do, but we are friends, true and true.

A package just arrived from them. A beautiful moon and stars quilt with his name on it. 3 great books about Vietnam and adoption, and some generous gift cards. With child #3, there isn't a lot you need, but there are still things that the other 2 have beat up...carseat or stroller. These cards will definitely go to good use!!

These ladies are the BEST...1 should work for Hallmark.
This is what she wrote....

Little boy, all alone,

with nobody to call his own.

A family waits a world away,

the months drag by, long day by day.

The pictures show up now and then.

The family wonders time and again.

Who dries his tears, who holds him tight,

you tucks him into bed at night?

Who reads him books, who sings him songs,

and comforts him when something's wrong?

The little boy he does not know,

this family who loves him so.

Their love so strong, their faith so deep,

safe in their hearts, this boy they keep.

A brother and a son to be,

they wait and wait so patiently.

And then one day the stars align,

they pack their bags, it's finally time!
The journey begun so long ago

is almost done, it's time to go!

Hold on, sweet boy, here they come,

your days alone are almost done.

Welcome Jacob, to this family who,

surely was chosen by God just for you.

You're right where you were meant to be,

alone no more,

you complete this family.
