“Once upon a time I held a child

1h


whose eyes did not match mine

 
2v
Her hair a different color

2h

His smile was just divine

3v

This child was not born
from my womb

3h

but given by another

4v

For me to love and give a home

4h

to one day call me Mother

5v

No greater gift will I receive

5h

or cherish more than this

6v

Thank you Lord

6h
with all my heart

7v

for granting me my wish.”
