Poem
I remember when I looked up into the night sky as a three year old My mother held me saying these words with passion in her voice Dear God, I wish for my child to grow strong and grow old Always look fear as a good memory to guide my children to safety Dear God, I want you to feed their soul with empathy that I have Always give them what they need not what they want Dear God, Lead them to better health and a warm heart that cares Always keep them near each other, and give them enough to grow Dear God, I bless thee to hold them tight in your warmth every night Always whisper my kind voice to them when they have doubts Dear God, when I leave them please protect them with all my heart Always give them the patience to keep on the right path Dear God, let the pain of loss be not so traumatizing for these children Always pick them up on your shoulder through droughts and storms Dear God, let them see a new world and let them decide on their own Always making sure a hint of remorse is in their eyes Dear God, Please forgive me as I leave them to you in a cold summer day Always remind them that life is always a journey of happiness Dear God, I say this prayer to them, as it would be heard from my heart Always remind them of who they are and where they come from Dear God, Thank You! For all you have done, as the words flow into my sons Amen….This prayer is actually some spoken words from what she would say I am adopted this prayer would never change with my new mother
