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. Unknown Author
Margaret
Mary Margaret is a gift sent from the Lord,
more precious than gold or treasures explored.
Your small dark eyes and obvious charms,
I have never seen or held with my arms.
Still, this one fact remains very clear,
that you, my daughter, have always been here.
You are in the laughter that fills my heart,
the sweet little thought that never departs.
And as I now consider my case,
of how much I love you without seeing your face.
It takes me back to a love greater still,
of a saviour that died o n a wind-swept hill.
For Jesus did not come to die in vain,
But for the purpose of adoption, if I might explain.
The love that has placed you into our family,
is but a small picture of the love that has adopted me.
For adoption has always been in the heart of our Lord,
more precious than gold, or treasures explored.
And through your days should you stumble or fall,
Remember Mary Margaret, you are loved through it all.
