I saw this poem on Melissa's blog and just loved it and HAD to put it on my blog. Hope she doesn't mind ;). BTW Melissa is going to have TWIN BOYS in March or April along with her precious 3 yr. old son, Logan and is adopting from China. You Go Girl!!!
Until Forever
By: Tom Fisher
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."

Hi There- I am just south of you in Greenville and my husband and I are just starting a journey of our own. I want you to know that your blog inspired me to do one for us!!!
You can visit ours at http://OurLittleTiger.blogspot.com
We haven't decided on our future little Tiger's name, so I wasn't able to title it with that. (If you know of some good names we are looking for a cute short first name- our last name has 13 letters so short is important! I think we are going to keep her Chinese name as a middle name...)
