Once upon a time
In a land so very far away
There was a precious little girl
Concern and fear her eyes did portray
One by one
Her beloved friends did leave
Would it happen to her?
Could she believe?
Then one day
A miracle did occur
A family stumbled upon her
And their hearts did stir
Could it be true?
Is this the child they had searched for?
Their hearts told them yes
But they had tried twice before
Courage it would take
To put their hearts on the line yet again
But they would push on
With conviction that was hard to explain
It was a mama’s dream
So many years ago
“A child will come from afar
Just look into her eyes and you will know”
Sweet precious Rylee
Child of my heart
Just wait a little longer
And our lives together will start
It is your birthday now
You are turning four years old
Your new family sends wishes and prayers
And dreams for a life waiting to unfold
A tear will be shed
Because we can not be there
But I promise my dear Rylee
No future birthdays will ever compare
With eyes shinning bright
And hearts holding true
We wait for the day
When we will finally hold you!
