What It Feels Like To Be Adopted
Shining in the darkness.
Praying that you don't become heartless.
Like a rose wilting in the sun.
Wanting the love that has begun.
Slipping away from reality.
Daydreaming for an eternity.
Searching endlessly for a forever family.
Hoping that this is the one.
Day after day, wishing to belong.
Hoping that it won't be too long.
Before the dream is through.
Awakened by the sound of laughter.
Wandering into the hall to find out what is all the fuss.
Getting scooped up into unfamiliar arms.
Only to discover that this is us.
No more shining in the darkness.
No more waiting.
No more wanting.
Finally found the one.
Now shining in the sun!
