To our precious children




I just love this poem and have seen it on many adoption websites.
I don't know who the author is, but it is simply beautiful.



Some would gather money, along the path of life. Some would gather roses, and rest from worldly strife. But I would gather children from among the thorns of sin. I would seek a little child with a big and toothless grin. For money cannot enter in the land of endless day, and roses that are gathered soon wilt along the way. But oh, the laughing children, as I cross the sunset sea. And the gates swing wide to heaven. I can take them in with me.



Thanking God each day for the chance to parent our amazing children.

How quickly we forget when we are in the midst of living.

Thank you for reminding me, and mow please excuse me as I go find my children and hold them for a bit.
