One of Each
March 19, 2008
Caroline McGrath, mother of two beautiful children, submitted the following poem. It honors the sacred ways in which our children become fully and completely our own~ through birth and through adoption.
One of Each
One came to me through nature
9 months of kicks and feeling weak
but ended with a joyous cry
black hair and chubby cheeks
The second came through paper toil
9 months of documents, calls and trips
but ended with a plane ride
white hair and bright red lips
One baby girl precious, one little boy blue
Two different paths to my heart
Dark haired maiden, light haired knight
Each special and love from the start!
