Pledge for an Adopted Child - by Debra Nussbaum Cohen
We did not plant you, True.
But when the season is done, when the alternate prayers
for the sun and rain are counted, when the pain of weeding
and the pride of watching are through, we will hold you high.
A shining leaf, above thousands of seeds grown wild.
Not by our planting, but by heaven.
Our harvest, our own child.
Blessings dear one! You and your family share a bond to ours. May wee meet some day.
