| | Poem by an adoptive grandmother | |
| |  | ADOPTION
There are very many children put upon this earth
Seeking comfort and compassion from the moment of their birth
God has sent these children down from up above
Looking for a family who will nurture them with love
We may not know the reasons or indeed the scope
Why their birth families simply cannot cope
Though ordinary people, these new parents must give
So much consideration to the kind of lives they live
These children should hear love and respect all around
No shouting or fighting or abuse must abound
As these children must be raised with happiness and smiles
For God has only loaned them out for a little while
These children are a gift from God and need tender love and care
They need very special parents and a loving home where
They will be safe and happy and need not be afraid
Where monsters cannot reach them and fill them up with dread
These parents must be patient and exceptionally brave
And willingly give these children all the attention they crave
So if you happen to be one of the chosen few
God has hand picked to care for one or two
Remember to show kindness and support to your partner
Share with them the trials, sorrows and laughter
So that eventually when the children are gone
You will still be together, still going strong
For even when these children, adults have become
They like to know that, at home, both Dad and Mum
Contentedly, companionably, together are living
There at the end of the phone for advice giving
So carefully guide these children’s formation
With your help they’ll get it right for the next generation
