My mother wrote this piece after my adoption to send in the place of a birth announcement. I thought I would share it with you. The stork is working overtime And he deserves a rest So we picked our precious bundle From a different little nest Now we proudly do announce And we feel so very glad Our darling daughter Shannon We're now her Mom and Dad At 3610 Glencairn Road Is where she will reside A welcome is extended you To see our joy and pride Dorothy Bodek ------------------ A soul that writes from the heart and shares it, truly gives a gift extraordinaire! |

'Pepper From A Different Shaker' just seems to fit it. I'll bet your mom thinks so too. Still just love this tender piece you shared with us. You're welcome. ~Marge~ ------------------ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ [email protected] |

A lovely way to announce their new addition to the family. When my wife was pregnant with our first child, I wrote a lullaby to her, based on the meanings of the names we had chosen: Leah Rachel, grace and beauty. Loved by God, and favored by man. Fruitful and cherished. This weary little lamb I entrust to our Shepherd's care. My wife asked me why I didn't write one for Andrew Philip, in case it was a boy. I replied, "Then I'd have wasted a song." We wanted a girl and got one. The boy came later. |

Pepper:..A while back I posted this somewhere else...and when I read what your mum posted..I thought you might like this..I know it doesn't apply to all situations like yours, but just maybe it does... This is my child yet she is not mine My flesh and blood but their sweat and tears She caries my genes yet will be shaped by their personalities She lives strong in my heart but her heart feels for them She lives in my fantasies my dreams Yet she's their dream come true their beautiful and precious reality I gave her life with which she made theirs whole I learned so much to love her That I let her go My child Their child it doesn't make sense Yet at the same time My child my dream for her to have better than I could give Their child Their dream to give her better than I could give My child so painful the hurt caused by her leaving so much grieving Yet a world full of happiness in their receiving..... Pepper....that was from the other side of the coin.. HUSG lady ------------------ You give but little when you give of your possessions. It is when you give of yourself that you truly give. |

May I add my Congrads, pepper, if a bit late to the party. How about posting a picture of your "pride and joy" soon? Michael |
