I wish I knew their names
The names of every parent
Who adopted a child.
I wish I could thank them
Face to face with gratitude
For their love given.
I wish I could know
The children they’ve accepted
Who they love as their own.
I wish we could have
A great big party to celebrate
The creation of a Forever Family.
I wish no child
Would go to bed without parents
Without a home to call their own.
I wish I could do more
Than pray or draw attention to
National Adoption Awareness Month.
I wish just one child
Could find one Forever Family
Because it’s the right thing to do.
I wish those ones
Would soon add up to all
So every child has a family of their own.
I wish I could say thank you
To all the people who make
Adoption dreams come true.
Would I be saying thank you
To you, or you, or you
Or maybe to one of you?
d.f.a.v. 11/18/13
Thank you!
