Formed from varied wombs, love vessels so-called
we painstakingly faced the reality of growing up together
though nurtured … with compassion in one big home---
... propelled by care-givers toward triumphant journey.
While learning about family matters
our minds were confronted on parents’ whereabouts
then struggled to relate midst partnership endeavours---
... till prayerfully overcoming belongingness-insecurity.
In our status as once abandoned and orphaned children
surrendered, not by our choice, to a residential institution
never did we know our foot steps’ advancement---
... but are now assured of soul-assurance vis-à-vis eternal destiny.
Grateful to have been adopted and fostered
our hearts praise the Lord for His sovereign provisions
leading us, through faith, to salvation-islands along rescue streams---
... today, we're enabled to reach-out by His HIS grace* voluntarily.
*Ephesians 2:8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God.
