An Adoption Poem

With hair of gold and skin of white,
the angels came and changed your plight.
The courageous woman from whom you were born.
her heart was tattered, her spirit was torn.
She wanted for you a better life,
one devoid of poverty, anguish and strife.
Our family she entrusted you to,
a life of blessings known by few.
For now you have more, not less.
For now, my darling, our lives are blessed.
