So many wrong decisions in my past, I'm not quite sure
If I can ever hope to trust my judgement anymore.
But lately I've been thinking,
Cause it's all I've had to do.
And in my heart I feel that I
Should give this child to you.
And maybe, you could tell your baby,
When you love him so, that he's been loved before,
By someone, who delivered your son,
From God's arms, to my arms, to yours.

If you choose to tell him,
If he wants to know,
How the one who gave him life
Could bear to let him go.
Just tell him there were sleepless nights,
I prayed and paced the floors,
And knew the only peace I'd find,
Was if this child was yours.

And maybe, you could tell your baby,
When you love him so, that he's been loved before,
By someone, who delivered your son,
From God's arms, to my arms, to yours.

This may not be the answer,
For another girl like me.
But I'm not on a soapbox,
Saying how we all should be.
I'm just trusting in my feelings,
And I'm trusting God above,
And I'm trusting you can give this baby
Both his mothers' love.
And maybe, you could tell your baby,
When you love him so, that he's been loved before,
By someone, who delivered your son,
From God's arms, to my arms, to yours....

Title Unknown

They said I was too young
to be anyone's mother
They never asked me
what I wanted to do

They said my baby should have
a mother and a father
They never gave me a choice
to help me see it through

They said the line
on my belly would disappear
They never mentioned
the wound in my heart

They said go on with your life
and pretend it didn't happen
They never told me I would grieve
all the years we're apart

They said I should be happy
now that I'm free
They never admit my flesh and blood
has been amputated from me

They said I could get married and
other children would call me mother
They never said one person
does not replace another

They said why worry
she has a good life
They never listen to how
the pain of not knowing
cuts just like a knife....

Title Unknown

Before your lungs could breathe
and your eyes could see,
your little feet
were walking all over me.

Before you could crawl,
and even talk,
your little toes
took a walk.

They took a journey,
went far and wide.
They traveled to my soul
where they now reside.

With every second that passes
they make another move.
With every day that ends
they dig another groove.

No matter how long or how far
we might be apart,
your tiny little footprints
are all over my heart....

Kisses in the Wind

I hold you in my heart
and touch you in my dreams.
You are here each day with me,
at least that's how it seems.

I know you wonder where we are...
what's taking us so long.
But remember child, I love you so
and God will keep you strong.

Now go outside and feel the breeze
and let it touch your skin...
Because tonight, just as always,
I blow you kisses in the wind.

May God hold you in His hand
until I can be with you.
I promise you, my darling,
I'm doing all that I can do.

Very soon, you'll have a family for real,
not just pretend.
But for tonight, just as always,
I blow you kisses in the wind.

May God wrap you in His arms
and hold you very tight.
And let the angels bring
the kisses that I send to you each night.
