Dreams Do Come True!: Very impressed with myself

The Chosen Heart

Longing for a child to love,
We'd wish upon the stars above.
In our hearts we always knew
A part of us was meant for you.
We think how happy we will be,
Once we adopt you,
and you adopt we.
We dream of all the joy you'll bring,
Imagining even the littlest things.
The way it will feel to hold you tight,
And tuck you in every night.
The drawing on the refrigerator door,
And childhood toys across the floor.
The favorite stories
read again and again,
And hours of games with
make-believe friends.
The day you took our
outstretched hands,
A journey ended, but our lives began.
Still mesmerized by your sweet face,
Still warmed inside by
our first embrace.
We promised to give
you a happy home,
And a loving family all your own.
A house you've now made complete,
With laughter, smiles, and tiny feet.
A parent is one who guides the way,
Know we will be there everyday.
Rest easy as each night you sleep,
A lifetime of love is yours to keep.
Longing for a child to love,
We'd wish upon the stars above.
In our heart we always knew,
A part of us belonged to you.
