Adopted
So alien was a world of love to me
I lived in an eddy of fear
Never a warm embrace
A soft word
A warm heart near
Moments of peace would quickly flee
Always moving
Never to stay
Empty sadness
Followed
As alone I played
Can’t they see
Can’t they see this little boy
With such great needs
His deep blue eyes
Searching to find
A family
A family I could call mine
I did meet them one day
The family
The family that did want me to stay
We met at the park
Something new
Something changed
Peace and joy
A warm embrace
A new love grew
And yet I remained
So afraid that they would come again
And tear me away
From my newfound home
I so wanted to stay
She held me close as if to pray
The promise of a warm heart
I was hers
No one could take me away
The knot untied
Tears held for years washed my face
As love deeply rooted itself in place
And much the same
As a man
Held in God’s warm embrace
Adorned in the risen Son’s name
Fully loved
Fully accepted
By a miracle called Grace
