Adoption

I wanted to be adopted again, Guardianship wasn’t enough, I wanted to bear your name with pride, Have love that was tough. I needed to be called “Daughter” again, For you to look at me with pride, I needed you to smile at me with love in your eyes, To call my name and say, “Stand by my side.” But then I realized I was already taken, Not by you but by Someone up above, I realize I had been spoken for all along, Spoken for with love. “He destined us for adoption As His children through Jesus Christ”, It says that in Ephesians 1:5, Adoption by God feels nice. He gives me all the love I want, The things that I need, He adopted us here on Earth, He planted a seed. I’m glad I was taken, Not by you but by God, For being spoken for all along, Spoken for with love.
