Adoption on My Heart

“Born in my heart” the poem goes –
I know it to be so.
Three children are knitted into that part
And never will they go!

Some think that three should be enough –
For others, sure! I say.
But I know there’s room for more to come
And I’m longing for that day.

Perhaps it’s because I have felt that joy,
And I know the gift in store …
Perhaps it’s simply the feeling that we
Are missing someone more.

So there’s adoption on my heart,
As day after day passes by –
When finally a new precious face I see,
I’ll know the reason why.
