Recently this poem was shared on a yahoo group that I am a
member of. It touched my heart as I thought about Sarah Joy’s
birthmother. As hard as it is for me to wait to hold Sarah Joy,
I know that one day she will be in my arms. Her birthmother, on
the other hand, will not have that day.
I also have been thinking about the sacrifice that Sarah Joy’s
birthmother gave…and it reminds me of the sacrifice of Jesus. I
am humbled at the thoughts of what Mary and a woman in China
have been through for me.
It is very easy for me to get caught up in the pity of the long
wait…until I realize how precious the wait will be in the end.
Words cannot express my gratitude to my Heavenly Father (that I
will meet one day) and a precious woman in China (that I will
never meet).
Please continue to keep Sarah Joy, her caretakers, and her
birthmother in your prayers. We love you all…
Somewhere on the Other Side
Somewhere on the other side;
A mother will soon have to hide;
The baby she nurtures day after day.
She wants to keep her but can't find a way.
Oh, the pain she must feel deep in her heart.
Knowing the day will come they will have to part;
Will it be near a market, a field, a train?
Where ever it is it will bring her great pain.
Somewhere on the other side;
A mother will soon have to hide.
And watch her baby cry with fear,
And long to hold her baby near.
A death to her as she lets go,
Who will find her baby, she doesn't know.
Somewhere on the other side;
A mother will soon have to hide.
Her baby was found and taken away.
And nothing will be the same after today.
Her arms are now empty her face full of tears.
The echoing cries are all that she hears.
Somewhere on the other side;
A mother will soon have to hide.
A part of herself that she selflessly gave;
This mother was so much more than brave.
She wanted her baby to have a life worth living.
She wasn't abandoning… she was giving. |
