How I Love You (one more for birth mothers)

How I Love You!

It should have been the best of times
The happiest time in the world
A time for bonding between a mother
And her precious baby girl.

Oh what love poured through my heart
What first I set eyes on you!
How could I provide the life I wanted you to have
Whatever could I do?

Agony, untold and beyond description
Filled my heart each day
As I made up my mind that my decision had to be
To give my most beloved babe away.

I gave you up not because I didn't love you
Oh, if only it had been that way!
I gave you up because I loved you more than life itself
And loved you more each day.

I gave you up because I saw in you
Beauty and intelligence and grace
Because I saw a love of life and desire to live
In your precious baby face.

And live you would and live you must
A life that would be wonderful and sweet.
I knew that I must do what was best
Oh, how my heart did beat!

I've prayed that someday God above
Would bring you back to me
And that the heart that loved you then and loved you still
You would be able to see.

And I pray that someday God will answer that prayer
And let us find each other
How wonderful will be the reuniting
Of you dear child to this yearning mother!

My heart will never beat so fast
Nor will it ever be so thrilled
To finally have that child shaped spot
Once again recognized and filled!

And I pray that God will let us be dear friends
Which is quite enough for me
If I can once again have you to touch and hold
And love for eternity!
Thena
