Jordon

Send me an Angel for me to hold, 
 One with wings and a halo of gold.

Send me that precious gift I long for, 
 A smile so sweet and eyes to adore.

Send him here for me to cherish, 
 Make him kind, loyal and garish.

Send him here with love and grace, 
 A child whose unique style I'll embrace.

Send me the patience to be a mother, 
 Hoping he'll love us and his brother. 

Not a typical family is what we are, 
 But we could be much worse by far.

Jordon is the answer to my prayers, 
 A big brother, for Chris, who truly cares.

Love is what we have to give, 
 Without my son I could not live.

Thank you God, you've done what I asked.
 As a good mother, please tell me did I pass?

This is a touching piece. I have two sons as well and along with my two daughters and the three extras I have adopted along the way I have quite the bunch. Yes my friend, motherhood is a blessing, through all of the trials and love it is a gift sent straight from Heaven above. The flow of this piece is wonderful and the message is magical.
