A Poem From Maelin's Auntie.....

"I found this poem. It was originally by Author: Teri Harrison. I changed a few things in it.I didn't have anything witty to add to your blog, but I thought this poem was nice. To Maelin .Love Aunt Carrie"

Longing for a child to love,

I'd wish upon the stars above.
In my heart I always knew,
a part of me was meant for you.

I think how happy we will be,
once I adopt you and you adopt me.

I 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 drawings on the refrigerator door,
childhood toys across the floor.
The favorite stories read again and again,
hours of games with make-believe friends.

The day you take my outstretched hand,
a journey ends, but our lives begin.
Mesmerized by your sweet face,
and warmed inside by our first embrace.

I promise to give you a happy home,
a loving family all your own.
A house you will make complete,
with laughter, smiles and tiny feet.

A parent is one who guides the way,
know I will be there everyday.
Rest easy as each night you sleep,
a lifetime of love is yours to keep.

It's so strange that even without saying anything, or having to explain anything ~ without a doubt,...a Sister knows, and understands.
There's something very special to be said about the connection between two Sisters...
I hope someday, Maelin will have one too! Love you Carrie, XOXXX
