My Chosen Child



Once upon a time I held a child,
 whose eyes did not match mine.
His hair a different color, 
and his smile was just divine.
This child was not born from my womb
but given by another,
for me to love and give a home, 
to one day call me "Mother".
No greater gift will I receive 
or cherish more than this,
Thank you Lord, with all my heart
for granting me my wish!
