Because I love you
I will let you go
And let someone new
Take you into their home.
Because I love you
And want the very best
I will let you have another heart
In which to make your nest.
Because I love you
And feel I might fail to be
The mother that you need
I will let someone else succeed.
I will never forget you
First child of my body and heart
I will cherish you forever
Even though we may be far apart.
And someday when you are old enough
Your birth mother you may want to see
And I will be waiting eagerly to meet you
And a wonderful reunion that will be!
So sweet dreams my little one
I send you off to those whose arms ache
To hold a baby of their own
And in whose hearts you already have found a home.
Because I Love You.......
