Catherine
Our Child
With anxious hearts and open arms,
we sought you everywhere.
You, dear child, are a gift from God,
The answer to our prayer.
No matter whether birth or choice,
A home is blessed from above.
When caring parents claim their child,
A family is formed by love. Unknown Author
Roots and Wings
Who are you
that you should
come to us?
Your name is Wonder;
Your name is Joy.
You have come gently
into our lives
bringing purity
and the freshness
of new beginnings.
And what shall we
give you in return?
We offer you all that we can
our best intentions -
our promise of love.
We offer your roots.
We offer you your wings.
We offer you tomorrow.
We offer you ourselves. written by Suzanne Gulbin
