My Daughter Faith Grace

Prompts Hour Fourteen

Little did we know,

our lives would take this turn.

We were told we might never have you.

It was an Abraham and Sarah miracle,

Well in our 50s!  We laughed—

at first.

but then your spirit took wings.

and like a beautiful bird;

always just out of reach.

you flew beyond our dreams.

If you could have stayed,

You would have come to know

How much we love you,

just like

your siblings,

Because—

by adoption,

they miraculously grace our lives too.
