Adopted

There’s a tale that I must tell
Of a heart that I knew quite well.
This heart dwelled within her chest
And had given its very best.

Love and compassion had filled this heart
But it was taken advantage of from the start.
This love and compassion was given
Freely to children in pain
But to the adoption agencies
It was just a game.

Visual 1

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

Letter To My Father -From An Adopted Child

A LETTER TO MY FATHER
(from an adopted child)

Hi Dad,
You left so suddenly, without a word,
no time to say our goodbyes.
Somehow it was alright because I was sure
you knew how much you meant to me.
The anguish I felt after you were gone finally
replaced with wonderful memories
that live in my thoughts.
I’ll miss you forever.

You were the finest...

Your Adopted Child

(Youth) 

I wonder where my mother is
And why she let me go?
I wish I had my mommy
So much I need to know

How did I come about then
where is my father too?
Oh I wish I had my mommy
She'd know exactly what to do!

Who is this woman kissing me,
Who's up with me at night?
Sometimes I think I...

Orphan early he was left 

By God was adopted!

My Adopted Way Home

Thus the day started with the norm, children playing in the storm

Feelings so hungry, hunger galore, a pain that never goes away that I do not adore

Crying in such a way that seem to stay
That my caretakers seem to think that children are fakers
So they feel that they can steal and give to takers
As a...

Premium Member My 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...

Premium Member Rejoicing 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...

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...

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...

Adopted Can Adapt

They were married and enjoyed it the most,
They both earned and made more and more,
They were wealthy and healthy beyond compare,
Life flowed in little gems and pearls,
As they thickened marital gel,
However marriage could not bear the fruit,
When they wanted it most,
Soon desperation took over,
Medicine could not just help,
Frustrated to no end,
They landed in an orphanage,
And...

The First Time I Saw My Adopted Parents

It was Three days before we can see our new life.
My brothers and I only saw pictures of a Dad and wife.
We were from a different country that was starving.
To have chicken and mash potatoes that was a large serving.
I did not know we were going to a better place.
I saved the bone of the...

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...
