This Morning in China

This morning in China a mother cries
She'll never forget her daughter's eyes
Her heart is broken and filled with pain

She has no choice but to leave her there
The cost of living is too much to bear
She hopes her daughter will one day know
True love can be found in letting go

This morning in China a baby cries
Hungry and scared as tears fill her eyes

Her mother has left her in this public place
Another lost daughter of the Chinese race

Someone passing by has heard her soft moan
She's soon quickly taken to a foster home

It's there she'll reside in the care of another
Until she's adopted by a brand new mother

That very same moment in the U.S.A
A woman cries as she starts to pray
Her heart is heavy but filled with much love
She prays for a daughter she thinks the world of

"Dear Jesus I ask that your arms would be
wrapped tightly around the one picked for me
Guard her in China 'till I make my way"

And in my arms FOREVER she'll stay!

Dear Sophie Ruth, I found this poem while roaming around online and had to journal it for you. It spoke so much to my heart, I feel like I could have written it myself.
I know you are of this world right now, as crazy as it seems, I can feel you in my heart each day I breath. Daddy, Charlie and I don't go to bed one single night without praying for you and asking that God is protecting you in these first 6-9 months or so of your precious life!
We love you sweet daughter to be!!!!!
-Mommy!
