Fina dikter/texter om adoption
Här kommer fler, jag hoppas texten blir bra när jag postar detta inlägg:
An Adopted Child
An adopted child is greatly loved
and soon becomes a part,
Of everything that's treasured,
and held closely to the heart.
An adopted child is looked upon
with special tenderness.
And he or she will always know
the warmest, sweet caress.
For those who adopt children
find joy in little souls.
A child's smile can help them on
toward their chosen goals.
God knows how much mankind
cries out for pure, unselfish love.
And so He sends adopted ones
seemingly from above.
Broken hearts are mended,
in manner meek and mild.
Truly blessed are those
who have an adopted child.

Born In My Heart
I see you in my dreams and feel you in my heart;
Sweet baby waiting patiently, half a world apart.
I try hard to imagine your many gifts and charms,
Passing time until at last, I hold you in my arms.
Soon we'll be together and I'll give you all my love;
My precious little angel from heaven up above.
THIS MORNING IN CHINA
This morning in China a mother cries
She´ll never forget her daughter´s eyes
Her heart is broken and filled with pain
The tears run down like the falling rain
She has no choice but to leave her there
The cost of keeping is too much to bear
She hopes her daughter will one day know
True love can be found in letting her go.
This morning in China a baby cries
Hungry and scared as tears fill her eyes
Her mother has left her in this public place
Another lost daughter of the Chinese race
Someone passing by has heard her soft moan
She´s soon quickly taken to a foster home
It´s here she´ll reside in the care of another
Until she´s adopted by a brand new mother.
That very same moment, in the U.S.A.
A woman cries as she starts to pray
Her heart is heavy but filled with much love
She prays for a daughter she thinks the world of
”Dear Jesus I ask that your arms would be
Wrapped tightly around the one picked for me
Guard her in China ’till I make my way
And then in my arms forever she´ll stay."
The waiting child
I saw you meet your child today
You kissed your baby joyfully
And as you walked away with her
I played pretend you'd chosen me.
I'm happy for the baby, yet
Inside I'm aching miserably
I want to plead as you go by,
"Does no-one want a child of three?"
I saw you meet your child today
In love with her before you met
And as I watched you take her out
I knew it wasn't my turn yet.
I recognize you from last year!
I knew I'd seen your face before!
But you came for a second babe.
Does no-one want a child of four?
I saw you meet your child today
But this time there was something new
A nurse came in and took MY hand
And then she gave my hand to you.
Can this be true? I'm almost six!
And there are infants here you see?
But then you kissed me and I knew
The child you chose this time was me
Är det du? - av Harriet Löwenhjelm
som har kommit till sist ändå.
Om Du kunde begripa, vad jag har längtat,
men det kan du visst aldrig förstå.
Tänk att Du skulle komma till sist,
det vågade jag väl knappast tro,
fast det var då min enda beständiga dröm,
som aldrig kom till ro.
Kom och sätt Dig hos mig, lilla barn.
Får jag krama Dig sakta ett slag?
Jag vill känna, att Du är mig nära,
jag vill höra Dina andetag.
Tänk, vad allting konstigt och krångligt
med ens blivit lätt att förstå.
Hjärtans allra käraste lilla barn,
såväl att Du kom ändå.
Daydreaming
Knowing she's not there
This waiting for referral
Is more than one can bear
But taking in the moment
I sit down on the floor
And dream of her here with me
When waiting is no more.
A little giggle fills the air
As I rub her feet
I place my hand upon her heart
To feel its every beat.
A song is sung so very soft
Her eyes begin to close
She's meeting me in dream land
A place where love still grows.
My vision now is very blurred
The tears stream down my cheeks
I've dreamed of her quite often
Throughout these past few weeks.
Suddenly a sound is heard
The phone rings in the hall
Waking up I quickly pray
Please let it be "The Call"
