Chosen Child - Welcome Home
Tonight as you lie sleeping
for the first time in your bed,
There must be something lasting
and profound that should be said!
But as your face is gazed upon,
framed by dark, raven hair,
no words can tell or quite express
the feelings that we share!
The wait is finally over,
You're home at last to stay.
And there'll always be the memories
of the joy that's filled this day!
With love that's brimming over
by the sign of you alone...
Welcome home, dear cherished one,
At long last, Welcome Home! Unknown Author

The Gift of Life
I didn't give you the gift of life, but in my heart I know.
The love I feel is deep and real, as if it had been so.
For us to have each other is like a dream come true!
No, I didn't give you the gift of life,
life gave me the gift of you.

An invisible red thread connects those who are destined
to meet regardless of time, place or circumstance.
The thread may stretch or tangle, but will never break.
