Happy Birthday!


There is a woman, near thirty now,
Halfway around the world.

Does she wonder how you are?
You, her babe, her girl.

I tuck you in, and soothe your tears
I pray for you each day.

And yet, another gave you life
Twelve years ago today.

There is a woman, near thirty now,
Halfway around the world.

May she know how loved you are,
You, her babe, her girl.



God bless our daughter's birth mother. May He comfort her in the knowledge that her little girl is loved beyond measure. And may He give me strength, wisdom, and patience to nurture our precious daughter in the love and admonition of the Lord.

(This is our daughter at our friends' ranch a few months ago.)
