When they call, they'll say,
"We have their study for you to review."
But what I'll hear, if I can hear anything, will be,
"You have two sons."
It will be a new birthday.
It will be Christmas in the Springtime.
It will be all joy and thanksgiving and wonder.
"You have two sons. You have two new sons."
Never have happier words been spoken to me.
My heart has carried you for months and now you are here.
Today you've never heard my name,
Tomorrow you will share it.
Today you've never seen my face.
Tomorrow it will smile on you.
Today you've never known the warmth and security of my home.
Tomorrow it, and myself, and all I have will be yours.
For you will both be ours and we will be yours--forever.
"I am a potential adoptive father, waiting to hear about 2 boys who are in state custody in Alabama for whom my wife and I have submitted our study for consideration. We were told not to set our hearts on any specific children up front, but you see I failed. I know we'll find the right children if these are not to be the ones, but for now, this is how I feel as I wait."
