Adopted Poems

Premium MemberIn An Instant

In an instant,
one or more lives can be changed forever.
A car crosses the road,
now headed for a pick-up truck.
The driver, husband and father to be,
lies dead on the road.
The wife and mother to be will some how survive,
but will never be the same.
The unborn baby will also survive,
their lives will be changed forever.
Their loving mother

In the shadows, softly praying,
Seeking God – love’s light portraying
All the wonders of hope and grace,
Blessings poured out through His embrace.

In the silence, a gentle touch
Fading softly – glowing so much
It can feel like the heart is growing,
As the past pain seems to be slowing.

In the whispers, lips keep praising,
Lifting God, who is so amazing.

Premium MemberNo way do we want my adopted hometown, Everett Washington, to become another sanctuary city

Seattle Washington of King County is where I was born in early October of 1954.
And it already has become another sanctuary city.  What is a sanctuary city? In
the case of the USA and Washington DC--'it is nothing more than a sanctuary for
dangerous criminals and terrorists,' who are illegal aliens flooding our northern
boarders'. Washington State

The King's New Hope

In days of old, a king of Hope did reign,
With joyous heart, he welcomed a new gain.
He was expecting a child, a son to bless his days,
A future bright, a hope that never fades.

In his preparation, plans were set in place,
His kingdom joyous, smiles on every face.
But fate, unkind, upon him cast its shadow,
The wicked

My Adopted Burg 

Once upon a time I saw the vibrant 
Roses on your streets, festooning both sides.
Now some of those appear wilted, as if 
Mauled by a virulent strain of fungus.

Now I see frosted feet seeking cover,  
Marooned in river of woes flooding streets. 
I see them pushing their stuffed shopping cart
to better

Zella’s Adopted
Written: by Miracle Man
December 6 2020

Almost daily, Geese come in scattered flight,
to her front yard pond past break of morn.
From where they flocked for respite last night,
they honk for a ration from her shelled corn.

A neighbor’s cow dogs show up each morning,
seeming amiable, that’s why she would risk it.
Both just appear without prior warning,
like

Premium MemberRejoicing In the Lord As An Adopted Child

This is a poetic testimony of a child from an orphanage ...
adopted by loving parents:

Though I look sober, still in the Lord do I indeed rejoice
Grateful am I to hear my father and mother’s voice
With “We love you, dear; you’re a child of our choice.”

As a baby, a lot of things I can’t understand…
But, I’m

Privileged…

Adopted* child of God

I’m cared for unconditionally

Being drawn to Him in prayer fellowship

Intimately, joyously, serenely midst pressures

With His sweet favour delighting me by His grace

Propelling me to render my utmost to Him for His honour.

*Ephesians 1:5 Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of

To Our Adopted Daughter

The night that you were born
Our hearts were filled with love
We knew you were precious 
God sent you from above.

When we held you tightly
In our arms you would sleep 
You are such a blessing 
Tears of joy we would weep.

Lindsay is our daughter
Gave birth to you that night
She tried her very best
To make things seem

Premium MemberMy Dog's Adopted

At what age should I tell my dog he's adopted?
Don't want him to start drinking, and getting el blotto
He was bought at a store
And even what's more
He isn't a human though he tries to act macho

Adopted

So you got what you wanted 
I was always haunted 
Little did I know
It's was all about your little show
Instead you knew how to throw 
My life away

You made me bleed
You made me cry
This made you feel so high
Treating me like I was the other guy.

You broke the only thing I had of my mom
And

Premium MemberNo One Mentioned It But She Knew

No one told her she was adopted, but she knew.
It was a well-kept secret. No one had mentioned it.
She met her birth mother once accidentally on the street.
An inner voice said ‘there she is’; it is her.

Their eyes met.
Same hazel circles, same hair, same face. 
Her birth mother looked older, worn out.
Their souls were forever

You Have Adopted Me

You have adopted me,
you took me by your chest.
By telling me love, yourself you.
Stole me from me,
You have adopted me,
you took me by your chest.
How distressed, I am alone.
Staying for yourself, crazy thy.
You forgot that moment.
You Mixed me by with your heart.
You have adopted me,
you took me by your chest.

Orphan early he was left 

By God was adopted!

Earth does ballet to stay in shape
dancing before the rubbernecking moon
that chases us around the sun
making waves in oceans like our emotions
