Poem


My face might be different
But my feelings the same
I laugh and I cry
And I take pride in my gains
I was sent here among you
To teach you to love
As god in the heavens
Looks down from above
To him I'm no different
His love knows no bounds
It's those here among you
In cities and towns
That judge me by standards
That man has imparted
But this family I've chosen
Will help me get started
For I'm one of the children
So special and few
That came here to learn
The same lessons as you
That love is acceptance
It must come from the heart
We all have the same purpose
Though not the same start
The Lord gave me life
To live and embrace
And I'll do as you do
But at my own pace.

Wow this poem is perfect. It made me cry because of sweet it is. Emma has taught me how much joy one gets spending time with such a sweet and pure little angel baby. Emma makes me feel great joy everytime I see her.... She is my little ladybug. Thank you God for giving her to Dawn and Doug.
