One year ago today
You took my breath away
with your golden hair and bright blue eyes
Your sweetness had me mesmerized!
OK, there's my attempt at a poem memorializing the day we met Alex. I tried to write a more in-depth poem, but I can't seem to find the perfect words to describe that moment we first saw him, first held him, first smelled him, kissed him, cuddled him. It's really indescribable. And how from the moment he became ours, all the pain, struggle, disappointment, frustration, hopelessness and anger we experienced trying to become parents all just magically disappeared. It was like everything came into focus - we knew exactly why we went thru everything that we did. Our road was meant to lead us to Alex. And to those moments.
Below is a popular adoption poem. I love this poem and related to immediately in those first moments with Alex. Recently, because of his birthday and the anniversary of us meeting him I was reminded about it again:
The Gift of Life
I didn't give you the gift of life,
But in my heart I know -
The love I feel is deep and real
As if it had been so.
For us to have each other
Is like a dream come true!
No, I did not give you the gift of life -
Life gave me the gift of you!

Congratulations on your one yr anniversary!
Do you want me to write a poem for him? ha ha!!
No, yours is very good and sweet! Mine are all obnoxious. :)
You are so right about all of the pain and frustration just melting away. Your words are just as good as a poem.
Happy Birthday & Happy Gotcha Day!
