Adoption After Dobbs
Oh little child, you do not know how close
Your smile came to never seeing the light
Of day- As we, your parents, fought the blight
That robbed our cribs and haunted like a ghost.
But judgment came to us in mercy's pose
And offered us a chance at victory-
We took it for our state and you were freed
From butchers wearing bloodied surgeon's clothes.
Your mother, so confused and wrecked with pain,
Found mercy in an unknown mother's arms.
There soothed and cherished, shielded from life's harms
She gave me you, made me a mother again.
Today I kneel and offer up my grace-
For living in a place where you can grow,
For life and laughter written on your face-
To God from whom all blessings truly flow.
