I don't know if I have ever posted twice in one day before...but this was worth it! Today I found a new bloggy friend, Rachelle, after some "blog hopping", and she is also in the process of adopting. On her blog was the most beautiful poem that just touched my heart so deeply that I had to share it. She is not sure who wrote it...I hope you enjoy it as much as I did. It will be in our scrapbook for sure!
"Dear Sweet Baby"As a girl I had a common dream to be a mom someday.
My baby would have eyes of blue and hair the hue of hay.
But now my dreams have been transformed; new visions fill my head.
Now the tresses that I long to stroke are raven black instead.
And in my dreams those eyes are not so big or blue or round
Now in my dreams they're almond shaped and colored cocoa brown.
And in my dreams my arms can stretch across enormous seas.
They reach halfway around the world and hold you close to me.
As you grow in your mother's womb, carefully knit together,
You're also growing in our hearts where you'll stay forever
And in my dreams the moment that your mother says good-bye,
I'll be right there to comfort you and hold you as you cry.
Our features may not look alike: we're different as can be.
But still I know the Father has created you for me.
And though I've not yet seen your face, or held your tiny hands.
And though we're half a world apart in very different lands,
I'll be right there to get you just as soon as God allows.
But 'til He says the time is right, I give to you this vow.
I'll pray for your protection every day on bended knee.
For God to hold you in His arms until you're here with me.

That is beautiful! I must admit, I am tearing up a bit and I don't normally use words like beautiful, but there is really no other way to describe it. I can't wait for your sweet baby to come home!

Rachel! So nice to meet you...actually, I'm a little surprised I haven't come across your blog before since it looks like you read a lot of the same wonderful blogs that I do. :)
Rachelle is a sweetheart, and I saw this over at her place and LOVED it. I will be praying for you as you wait for your little one to come home. Looking forward to getting to know you better - have an awesome day! :)
