It was a crisp spring day and
the warmth of the sun shined
through the window upon
my tiny body.
I could hear all kinds of voices
surrounding me.
I was placed inside a warmer
where I was being carefully
weighed and wiped down.
I was then placed in a
warm blanket.
I was given to a special person
who was very tired and wanted
to hold me.
She held me in her arms
and touched my silky dark hair.
She bent down and kissed me
on my soft cheeks. But she was
silent and her love was overwhelming.
Her tears ran down her beautiful
face and fell onto mine.
She gently handed me to
a nurse and I was taken away.
This special person was
my birth mom!
I hear new voices of a
man and women
who were waiting
for me in a nearby room.
The nurse brings me to
them in my comfortable
bassinet. I was freshly
bathed with a tiny
white shirt on and wrapped
in a soft blanket.
I'm still wondering about my
birth Mom and where did she
go?
I hear a man and women's
voice near my
tiny frame and they touch
my little hand.
The man and women
tell me how beautiful I
am and they feel so blessed
to have me!
I see them walking down the
hallway giving
my birth Mom a hug.
They also handed her
a tiny box with a piece
of jewelry inside.
She will always be "My
hero!"
The man and women
I had seen earlier
picked me up ever so
gently, each with a
kiss onto my tiny
head.
My new adopted Mom,
held me against her
chest. Suddenly her tears
flowed and touched
me cheeks.
My eyes looked up
at my new parents
and they were
proudly looking
down at me!
I began to cry and they
comforted me.
The nurse gently
takes me from them
for my feeding.
Where are my new parents?
Where did they go?
Shortly later I arrive
in this cozy room
down the hallway.
The room has a
bed for my new mom
and a roll away
bed for my new dad!
I also see two large bags
sitting on top of the bed,
but I also
see a tiny bag sitting next to
theirs as well.
I hear familiar voices
coming in the doorway!
It's my parents holding a
small box from my birth mom!
The box was for me!
It was a piece of jewelry
with a written note inside.
and they placed it carefully inside
my tiny bag.
