That Day When Adoption Changed Me
There was a day my life changed
when I was adopted at 6 weeks of age
what if that hadn't happened? left myself!
where I'd be today? maybe on my last page
But in God's providence never left alone
placing me in a family where I receive care
throughout life felt God's touch many a time
no matter how hard, never said it's not fair
After birth, move into kid's home
left to wonder about life's future
but no memory of my infant thoughts
or days ahead, I may have to endure
Six long weeks it probably felt
till adopted parents came my way
then papers signed so all's legal
moving out to country was I to stay
My dad worked on a farm nearby
while mother kept the house in check
so grateful to live out in fresh air
for pre-school days were my top deck
(Just thinking about my early pre-school days getting adopted and events around these early events in my life. )
