For anyone considering adoption...have you considered an older and/or special needs child? So many still WAIT...

I've watched my friends go home from here,

To their families, one by one,

Yet here I stay through all these years,

Waiting for you to come.

I know that I'm not perfect,

Yet they tell me that I'm bright,

I just wish that you could only look,

Past what is wrong, to what is right.

I've watched my friends go home from here,

I dream of how that'd feel,

A pair of loving arms to hold me,

Will this dream ever become real?

I know that I would be home by now,

If not for fears of the unknown,

Yet I have many of my own you see,

In that you are not alone.

I've watched my friends go home from here,

It's happening to a friend today,

But wait! Her Mama has something for ME,

I take it and don't know what to say.

With trembling hands, I open the book,

And peek at what's inside,

A picture of a family,

"Can this be true?", I cried!

I've watched my friends go home from here,

It's my turn now, It's true!

I linger at the gate for one last time,

Then bravely walk on out with you.
