An Adoptive Couple's Thanks

Jody Harkavy
Before we met the world was gray,

A long lonely existence.

We had an all consuming love

But no one to accept it.

Each day when the sun arose

We seemed to miss the warmth.

And though we felt we searched in vain

We tried without surrender

To fill the hole dug through our hearts

And feel complete again.

Then you found us dangling over the edge

Ready to give in to despair

The rope you tossed us was full of the hope

We had managed to lose somewhere.

An angel from above showed up

And taught us what true love is.

For no one can claim a greater prize

Than the gift of becoming a family.

And, now you are one of us

An extended branch if you will.

For fate brought you to us when we needed you most

Our miracle, our anchor, our friend.
