Gordon Mcconnell Poet Rhyme

Adopted At Six Weeks

I came into this world one day
Sunday 27th December 1953
but life didn't go as planned
given up for adoption was little me

Then, after 6 weeks, I was found
a new mum & dad came to sdopt
they wanted a boy to keep
so pleased to know I'm caught

Looking back over my years
I've been blessed to be found
with parents who showed love and care
being an only child truly crowned

Thinking back on how life could have gone
in many directions, far and near
but God's providence has been kind
guiding my hand whispers in my ear

All my ways that I have gone through
unexpected experiences have been my lot
once in a lifetime, they have been
never believed when in my cot!
