A Poem To My Birth Daughter

This poem is for my daughter

Whom I love so very much

The day you were born I saw you

But could not allow myself to touch

For if even for one moment

I were to hold you in my arms

My life would change forever

I would be bonded by your charms

My heart was very burdened

At the choice I had to make

I looked to God for guidance and

I asked for strength and love

When God gave me my answer,

I knew what I must do

I had to let you go,

To give my love to you

God blessed me with your parents

Who loved you from the start

I cried and grieved for you

Because soon we'd have to part

As the years kept slipping by

I thought of you each day

Did you have a happy life

And were you taught to pray?

So many questions that

I have kept bottled up inside

My fears and tears and sadness

Kept ebbing like the tide

When I received your phone call

My heart was overjoyed with love

The Lord had lead you to me darling

My answer from above

And now that we will meet again

I won't know what to say or do

But at last I'll hold you in my arms

You've made my dreams come true
