A Special Bond of Love


A Special Bond of Love
by Karen Ledbetter


A poem of thanks to a birth mother.

Once strangers, not knowing of each other,
God brought us together
To share a special bond of love
With a sweet little girl named Seanna.
You may never understand the pain
Or know the tears I cried.
Our heart's desire was for a child
To nurture, love, and guide.
We may never understand the pain
Or know the tears you cried.
You said good-bye to this precious child,
Entrusting us to nurture, love, and guide.
We see your face in her pretty smile,
And love in her sparkling eyes.
She's the answer to countless prayers,
A blessing to many lives.
No longer strangers,
We share a special bond of love
With a very precious gift From our God above.
