Adoption - the greatest sacrifice a girl can make...she lays down her life for her baby!

Adoption

("It is twice bless'd")

After the party,

After the fun,

Alone with the gift,

Where is everyone?

The music stopped.

Dance partner left.

You're young and alone

And now you're bereft.

So duty calls,

The strong on earth,

To give or keep

The gift you'll birth.

You pray for help,

Your wound is deep.

But is the gift

For you to keep?

With God's sweet grace,

I know you'll find,

He'll give you strength

To leave behind,

For a man and wife,

You'll give, don't mourn.

For the gift birthed twice

Means a family's born.

And when you're sound,

Re-make your bed

And purging-tears,

Of course, you'll shed.

But charged with light,

Your sins confessed,

Be of good cheer

For who'd of guessed?

A holy plan?

To marry another?

Give him babes,

One after the other?

A second family!

Happily addressed.

For you birthed God's gift

And "it is twice bless'd"!
