Our Joy of Adoption - Evan
Our Joy of Adoption - AlyssaEverything To Me
I must have felt your tears
When they took me from your arms
I’m sure I must have heard you say goodbye
Alone and afraid had you made a big mistake
Could an ocean even hold the tears you cried?
But you had dreams for me,
You wanted the best for me
And you made the only choice you could that night
(Chorus)
You gave life to me
A brand new world to see
Like playing baseball in the yard with dad at night
Mom reading Goodnight Moon and praying in my room
So if you worry if your choice was right
You gave me up but you gave everything to me
And if I saw you on the street,
Would you know that it was me
And would your eyes be blue or green like mine
Would we share a warm embrace
Would you know me in your heart
Or would you smile and let me walk on by
Knowing you had dreams for me
You wanted the best for me
Oh I hope that you’d be proud of who I am
And when I see you there
Watching from heaven’s gates
Into your arms I’m gonna run
And when you look in my eyes
You can see my whole life
See who I was...and who I’ve become

Hey Tammy. That is awesome...rings so true. "I am, who I am, because of you." The pain and heartache experienced throughout adoption is enormous as is the love and celebration. Thanks for sharing.
