I felt the ache of empty arms
My barren womb never knew you
I longed to be a mother, yet again
We got the call to come at once
A precious infant needed us

You waited alone in a sterile room
For strangers to find for you a home
And parents with whom to go

I was nervous, full of fear
Could I love you as much
As any child born of my flesh

They held you out, there you were
A tiny bundle wrapped in pink
You were so small, helpless, and frail
I fell in love with you that moment, dear
My love for you could never pale

A love so perfect, gentle, and fresh
I looked at your father
And saw it too
The look in his eyes
As we both fell in love with you

Yes, this likes me very much, especially since I at one time helped place an infant with a very special couple.  And I was the third person to hold the child.  I still have that photo...
